Whaddya Think, Guys?

About the new-style CC Forum?

I certainly don't find it as intuitive. I can't delete my own posts. Several moderating functions are missing or well hidden. I can't see the contents of a thread as easily as before.

Whaddya think?

Moderation

Looks like it - though de-selcting 'publish' is less intuitive than a 'delete' option!

So how do I force the 'read the FAQ' message to the top of the pile?

When you scroll to the bottom

When you scroll to the bottom, is there a 'delete' button beside the 'submit' button?

I've added a link to the FAQ in the board description. I don't think we have a 'sticky' option, yet.
