Discussion Threads
I am working with a large group of teachers. Each month I've asked them to post a journal entry onto specific pages within the Wiki. They can also post very general questions in discussion threads. Many are confused and continue to post their journal entries as discussion threads. Is there a way that I can restrict the writers postings to discussion threads?

Discussion Forum:
I am experiencing a problem with my site Discussion Forum as follows.
I also cannot get into the discussion forum using the tabs. However, I can get to threads I have already been to using my history and the similar topics links at the bottom of the page.
This is the message that I get when I click on the Discussion tab: "Internet Explorer Cannot open the site http://........................thread Operation Aborted" Sorry can't give site name (Delicate?)
What do i do about this problem, and i see that others have had or are having the same problem

editing a discussion...
are there any formatting hints / rules that apply to discussions? I keep seeing blurbs about "easy edit", but I don't see that button on my wet paint site. and somehow people are able to add things like hyperlinks. i assume there are other formatting tricks as well? like how to make text bold, or italics, or whatever else.
where is the documentation for formatting in a discussion?

Discussion Forum
I know I've been harping on about the forum for a while now, but that's because I think it has awesome untapped potential to allow Wetpaint to grow further...hell, that's in all our good interest.
Firstly, congratulations Wetpaint on the last discussion forum release. The fact that categories can be managed and sorted is a big step forward as it has made it infinitely more useable by simply being able to organise posts.
Here are a couple of simple suggestions to further enhance the discussion forum which I think will totally transform it into a superb tool.
1:- A set of smileys/emoticons.
Non-visual communication is a factor of online community membership. Human communication however involves far more than what is just being said. Smileys/emoticons are a simple way to enable peple to interact better by displaying the mood of the post, thus preventing mis-interpretation. Online communication is worldwide and regional cultural differences can result in people interpreting a message in ways that may not have been intended by the writer. An emoticon can help the reader to tune in to the mood of the writer.
2:- Images/Links
It would be a great improvement to be able to post images on a discussion board post. Even if it is just images from the wiki's photo gallery. Doing this would allow members to really brag about their passion and would facilitate more detailed discussion.
Similarly with links. Allowing external url links into the body text of a discussion post will enhance the discussion forum experience and at the same time willpropagate Wetpaint further.
Just these two simple additions will imo transform an ok wiki feature into a fully interactive useable tool.
Keep up the good work guys.
Regards
Joe

Recent Discussions
Hey.
It would be really great if we could have the "Recent Discussions" that come in our weekly wiki digest postable to a page on our wiki. Our 18000 campus way wiki has a "new and noteworthy" section and that seems like a perfect place to stick a box that had ongoing threaded discussions happening on the site.
Another idea would be to have a site blog where any of the members could drop stories or op. ed. pieces with photo's and links and all that, but that would sort of archive itself.
Has anyone figured out a way to do these things?
Thanks!

Discussion forums
Any future enhancements to the Discussion forums on the cards?
Its just my forums are stating to get buzzing and I fear some threads may get lost to the wind..for example I cant 'stick' a thread to the top of the forum. I would like to better organise the threads into specific areas, so all say XBox threads would go in one 'folder' and PS3 in another etc...
Or are we going to have to make do with setting up an external forum specific account and linking to that...I would rather keep everything in house thean getting members to sign up to another site kust to be able to discuss things with each other

Watching Discussion Forums
I'm a member of a wetpaint group, and I would like to put a watch on the discussion forum page so I can be notified of any changes to existing discussions as well as any new discussions. I can't find a way to do this. Is it possible?

Removing discussion board
I have searched the FAQ and other discussion threads. No hints.
The reason why I would like to remove the Discussion page from my Wiki is to add a link to my wiki on a signature for discussion forum on another website. The other website will not allow me to add the signature/link becuase there is a "discussion" forum on my wiki. I guess they feel that the Wiki I am setting up will compete with their site and therefore cause a potential loss of revenue from their advertisers.
The advantage for Wetpaint is more people will know about Wetpaint, visit it and use it more, potentially increasing Wetpaint's revenue. So does anyone from Wetpaint have an answer?

Discussion Forum Missing Content
Hello:
I am an Administrator for the ANT wiki http://ants.wetpaint.com/
We started using our discussion forum and for some reason, it is displaying things irregularly.
On the right hand side of the Home Page you can see one of the Active Threads (under Recent Site Activity) is Copyright. But if you click on Discussion Forum on the Box on the Left, when it takes you to discussion forum site (i.e. its history), this is missing from the list of discussions.
I can click on the Copyright link under Active Threads and see it under William Boatman ! Copyright. Why is it not appearing under the list of Discussions on the Discussion Forum (history) Page?
I don't want it to go missing if someone adds another thread (which would push it out of the Active Threads and disappear from view entirely since it woudl not be on the Discussion Forum's history.)
I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7.0
Could you please look into this and get the Copyright thread into the Discussion Forum?
Thanks in advance,
Carmen Kazakoff-Lane
