Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

An idea I had after reading this post from Michelle. http://groups.drupal.org/node/20542#comment-71555

I have a possible solution for Point 1 from Michelle.

Instead of turning off threading with flat comments, what if a reply to a specific comment, automatically creates a new thread with the comment being replied to as the top post and the reply being the second post. A link to this new thread could be inserted underneath the comment in the original thread.

This would allow side conversations to occur but in the correct place, which is a new thread. This could eliminate thread hijacking.

Already an issue

Not likely to get into 2.x, though, unfortunately.

This is why your Drupal's forum savior. You think of everything and have the coding skills to back it up.

Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to do everything. Or the time. But it's getting there, slowly but surely.
