Bleh
I must admit, these are pretty hideous. I'm going to be a luddite on this and say we don't need to go this route. If you want to keep it in the forum, fine, but keep it off the rest of RW - including talk pages.
I looks hideous, navigation is screwed up - I clicked reply and then went on a tour of the other sub-headings. I think most of us by now - even newbies are au fait enough with wiki language and layout that we can move away from this format.
Nobody is going this route (well some people have but that is there problem). This a trial run of a very new feature. After having used it for less than an hour, it was already clear that it was not ready to be used across the whole forum space. After being here for nearly a week, sometime in the last twenty-four hour the chicken littles noticed this page and felt that this little experiment is too avant garde for them and want it burnt to the ground. This wiki is rational, unless the topic is the wiki itself, then all ends of emotional ranting is required.
Nobody is playing beta with day-to-day operation is my point, hence the chicken little analogy. There is only two pages were this is being trialled and the people here are acting like this is the final product about to be hoisted across the entire site. We are unlikely to implement this before Wikipedia does at least.
It's the people who are screaming "OMGZ LiquidThreads is ruining my wiki, delete it NAO" and who think lqt should be "uninstalled for a useless piece of junk, the bits that harbored it degaussed, burned over and sown with salt".
I don't understand, why does it say I have four new messages, and link here? None of you nice people are talking to me, as far as I can tell.
Sigh. Human, it's not that hard to understand. You have replied to this thread. This automatically watches this thread (similarly, when you edit a talk page, it's automatically added to your watchlist - I haven't tested, but lqt probably respects the preference option). If you don't want that, go to preferences->Watchlist, and untick "Watch threads that I create or reply to". Also unwatch this page if you are watching it and any individual threads on it. When someone replies to a thread you are watching, it will count as a "new message for you". Yes, the phrasing is stupid, it should be "there are replies to threads you are watching". You have to click Mark as read on Special:Newmessages to clear the notification.
