I think that it may be time to start a wider discussion about Liquid Threads. I've posted a couple of times about it in various place on WE but have not had any response, yet.
My feelings are that LQT are not desirable as the default for discussion pages, and that what would be preferable would be a way to turn them on in Talk pages if you wish; otherwise, the default for Talk pages is the old way -- a blank page. I've found myself posting to discussion pages a lot less than I used to, I often find that I want to post, but something about the page then kind of turns me off and I don't. Also the fact that all discussion/talk tabs are now blue links is annoying, i don't know whether to check a Talk page or not as it looks like theres always something going on there, when often there isn't. I've also yet to see a thread that has been summarized. My thought are that LQT are probably more desirable on Wikis where "teaching"(?) might be happening, where a threaded discussion might be useful for following an argument or discussion between learners and moderators, but on a site like WE where we are mostly engaged in content development, they're just getting in the way. The problem is that they seem to limit the Talk page to being structured like a discussion, where as often this is not what is wanted. I quite like the way some languages on Wikiverisity have styled their talk pages with a little bit of formatting using the wikis Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to display indentations in different colours. What do others think? brent. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
