Is it possible to indirectly reply to a post? i.e. comment instead of reply.
And if not, would it be possible to add as a feature?
The reason I ask is that in the travis-ci discourse I came across a question. I had information relevant to the question, that didn’t directly answer the question, so I felt I shouldn’t use the reply feature.
Maybe I’m too used to stackoverflow and how the reply section is strictly reserved for direct answers. Do you think distinguishing between replies and comments would be useful?
I’m also not sure how adding a comment section would fit into the flat vs threaded discussion. It might make the layout overly complicated. Maybe a reply could have a tag or something indicating it’s a comment?
I think “reply as new topic” basically handles this! It creates a new topic for a related but separate discussion, linked to the topic it split off from. See:
But in general, yes, intended use / conversation style for Discourse is very different from e.g. Stack Overflow. As long as you’re more or less on topic, replies that continue the conversation are usually encouraged even if they don’t provide a single canonical answer to a question!
Another thing to keep in mind is that forum moderators can also split off any number of replies in a topic into a separate one, whenever they want. So if a sort-of-related reply ends up sparking a diverging thread of discussion that could stand alone, those replies can be batch-moved to a new topic later as needed.
실제로 이러한 방법들은 @ConorSheehan1님의 일부 요구 사항을 충족하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.
그러나 ConorSheehan1님이 설명한 이 “댓글(Comment)” 기능이 또한 필요하다는 제 의견을 밝히고 싶습니다. 즉, 메시지 아래에 추가되지만 메인 스레드에 포함되지 않는 답변입니다.
@angus님이 제안한 이 플러그인에 대해 조사해 보겠습니다:
비슷한 필요성을 표현하는 다른 분들이나 유사한 주제에 대해 아시는 분 계신가요? 이 기능의 존재에 대해 검색하거나 작업하는 방법에 대한 조언이 있으신가요?
