Hi James,
Bumping this thread because I need a reply. (: Repeating my question: For
those that aren't using Flow, are there any improvements on the horizon for
the editing of talk pages, particularly for novice users? For example,
prompts or hints in the editing window regarding how to edit could
Hoi,
It is a matter of perspective. The persistence of the current talk system
makes for hardly readable discourse. So please continue with what is good

Thanks for the update.
Questions:
