When you click on discussion in a wiki article, the whole discussion comes up. I'm confused as to why it wouldn't work the same way in the Baronies. Or I'm missing something.

As far as I know they work the exact same. If you go into towerpedia!, choose an article, you only see it. You have to click on "comments" or "discussion" to see the posts.When you click on discussion in a wiki article, the whole discussion comes up.

Right, but you see all the posts.

Those are actually threads, I believe the posts are still hidden.
Until now
I made the change across the board to see if we liked that better. Go have a look at any of the threads in say...Book 7 and let me know what you think.

Alright, I like that better. I'm still not sure the "why" of this change, but I'm starting to get used to it. Don't know if I'll like it as much as the normal format but like I said I'll try it for awhile and see.

As to the reason it was done, I think its important for me as the administrator to constantly look for ways to stay on the technology edge with the site and also make sure we have room to grow.
The perks for this particular one is that anytime someone mentions one of the books on the site, it will autolink them to a discussions on said book.

Gotcha. Just giving feedback!

And I totally appreciate it. I tried to make a thread to explain the whole thing but I understand there is always questions after the fact.

Nope, change it back, please. Did you see the Towerpedia? It has the article and the thread directly underneath it. It looks really unprofessional, IMHO.

Well there you go
Its one way or the other folks.

Figures. I vote for my way.
Seriously, I prefer the Towerpedia to have the more professional, "slicker" look - I think it distinguishes it from the threads. Also, since not all entries will have discussion threads, it may become confusing for the users.
Just my two cents.

Sweet.
As an alternate suggestion, we could put the Baronies threads back the way they were, and I could put a page for each book with synopsys and links to Tower Connections and thread location on the main Towerpedia list.

Or as another alternate suggestion we could just let Matt wreak havoc and ruin a perfectly good section of the message board with his nonsensical ideas?

Or, we could just stop talking about The Dark Tower altogether as it isn't really that great of a book or series.
Monte's onto something with this...
