Ed, Many of us who are deeply imbedded and active in Google Groups have good reasons and arguments to move. Apart from the fact you can't even reply on a mobile, mark code in a forum post and more Discourse solves a range of problems and issues that I expect you do not experience every day.
We can't rely on Google any more and moving to talk.tiddlywiki.org puts control into the communities hands. In many ways "a move" if not "this move" has being on the cards for years, however getting consensus from the community is like herding cats. To put this decision on Jeremy alone is also asking too much. I know change can be difficult but as always the community is here to help, and from what I have seen Discourse offers everything and more than GG. So I am confident we can restore the functionality you want. Please continue to raise issues but also let the community help you transition or solve the problems you experience, or even ultimately change our minds because of your experience. If you did not see yet, signing up at talk.tiddlywiki.org with your google login is possibly the easiest entry to the new system.
