Have been working on a Drupal site, it is by no means finished but thought it might be time for people to take a look.
Main differences to this forum are :-
Two Sections
Help & Support
General Discussion

As far as posting goes there are some changes.
Post has WYSIWTYG editor
Ability to edit/delete your post
Able to quote another post.
The ability to instigate a Poll

In addition (in its present form) members would have their own blog.
Anyway take a look and if you feel strongly enough about what I'm trying to do enter the poll and or post a comment.

It looks great (especially the ability to quote that I sometimes miss). Could you add some more posts to see how the threads behave when answered in the middle?

I guess the next steps will be:

  1. Study whether the forums can be synchronized with mailing lists;
  2. Use the Trisquel theme;
  3. Test a solution to transfer the existing threads to the new forum;
  4. Do the same on Trisquel's server.

You may work on the first item and will need to convince quidam for the remaining points. I guess you had better wait Trisquel 6.0 Toutatis to be released...

Thanks -

I'm not sure how the mailing list works, maybe some one can explain?

Who is quidam ? perhaps he could contact me ?

The mailing list uses GNU Mailman:

1)http://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/ 2)http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html

Quidam is the developer of Trisquel. He works for activity central now and on Trisquel as well so he can be a bit hard to get in contact with at times. The best way I find to contact him is in the #trisquel IRC chat channel.

Let's say that you no longer want to see the posts from a certain user.

(I'll make up a name)

For example, can you punch into a special field "Tea4Three" and thereafter no longer have to see that user's posts?

I don't have that much spare time right now. I want to come to the Trisquel forums and talk mostly about Trisquel. It's okay to branch off a little into other areas of free software, but this forum is degenerating for sure.

Thanks for your consideration.

Or maybe there is a way to we can simply identify off topic posts and move them to a new section?

I am having some scruples about the veiled reference in my post above. I suppose that wasn't necessary to single out a particular person. I apologize.

I just want to be able to give someone this distribution and be able to send them to a forum without them having to wade through flame wars and frustrated comments such as mine above.

I think Chris' idea to be able to move posts to another section is a better one. However, we also should have the ability to do so in the middle of a thread without compromising all of the useful parts of that thread above where the segue began.

Features which enable this such as 'kill files' and 'ignore this thread'
are almost as old as news readers (NNTP). I prefer the mailing list
interface because mail filters give you an ersatz version of these
features. Really they should be stock parts of any good forum
software, and I think you were right to flag the requirement in your
earlier post. I second it.
