Every day I come to hate this place more and more.

:eyes::thinking: Hmm…they are. Looking forward to reading your test report.
I recall there being a different text in the OP of this thread, yet I see no other signs of editing.

What is the nature of your test and when will you release results?

I think there was a poll here before?

Yes. Well. Turns out someone was so mad that they and their friends pressed the “report” button to force an automatic suppression of the original post.

I don’t remember.

To see what happens when posts that were quoted are deleted, causing a lack of context.

Turns out, you can see the originally quoted text.

So if you edit an automatically suppressed post, it becomes not suppressed?

Testing continues.

Some improvements have occurred in the forum software, though some flaws remain, and odd artifacts, such as not being able to quote the immediately preceding post, it edits the quotes out, making responding to individual points difficult.

edit: Also there is now a poll.

I had success on the second to third attempt (editing the source quote back into post). Also, it seems that this bug appears only if you quote the post whole.

I hope this test will continue. :crossed_fingers:

Overall though, this format of the IGS is rather good. Functionality much improved.

There’s still the occasional oddness of automatic pruning of quotes, but that hasn’t bothered me as much as it might.

Other than the occasional intrusion by Triglavian meme worms, things have been pretty good.

It doesn’t do to rush to judge things. Except when it does.

Cheese?

If the poll was gone, then it is back now, with my votes added.
