So pretend that someone else said something salient about my bored board, but they didnt’ link to it directly. Nevertheless, I want my bored board to acknowledge it. So I’ll link to this on the that topic. (Which I can’t link to here since I’m showing what happens if it’s NOT linked to).
not following this too well, but if you’re suggesting a disccussion about the board, within the board, that would only be desiraable for board curators, not board users. Discussions “About the board” should never pollute the board itself, but probably be Reply as topic in some other discussion category such as "Board Items (as topics) or something?
Again, it’s hard to know if we’re talking apples and apples, but we can clarify by voice when you’re ready for that.
Right. In discourse, any topic X that refers to topic Y makes a link to topic X show up at the bottom of the first post of Topic X. If we’re using those links to decide what things are in our board (and maybe I still don’t know what a board is), then I’m just not sure if it’s a problem.
