With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.@dennis-hackethal* see the revision chain on #3164. Revision 5 improved the content but I accidentally removed valuable comments. Revision 6 (a revision of revision 4) brought back the comments but I failed to include the content improvement in revision 5. I then made revision 7 to have both the comments and the improved content.
Maybe it should be possible to amend which comments apply to an idea without needing to make a whole new revision. This could behave weirdly in some edge cases, but it’s food for thought. If you think the way it currently works is going to be best, that seems fine to me.
As of 212b357f, revising goes in steps, and a reply only stays behind if you mark it, with a button that says what that means (“Answered by this revision” or “No longer applies”). That should prevent what happened with #3164.
Changing which replies apply without a new revision would rewrite a version’s history, which the timeline relies on. If replies still get lost, I’d rather let a new revision bring back the ones an earlier version left out.
Archiving #3166 for now. If it happens again, leave a comment and I’ll take a look.
