Improved Message Boards

Message boards are easier to start and nicer to read

Create a board from just its name, edit it where it is shown, and read posts in a feed with authors and instant voting.

Create board now asks only for a name. The board belongs to the Personal or team selection you are in, starts private, and takes its address from the name unless you choose another. It opens straight away.

On the board, click its name or description to change it, and use the menu beside the name to make it public or private. There is no separate settings page.

Posts read as a feed: a score beside each one, a larger title, a line of its text and the author's photo. Voting on a post or comment updates the score immediately without reloading the page.

On a post, the comment box follows the discussion and opens when you click into it, comments show who wrote them with their photo, and posting a comment takes you to it. Writing a new post puts the title and text first, with the link behind Add a link. Public boards have their own reading layout.
