I have just updated my Diversity in Tech original post to include the additions suggested by @design_RG

Is it possible to give admins write access, so when people add a post, others can go in and make changes, add additional info pictures etc. ? I did ask this in a comment but asking here too, so we can discuss further.

@zleap

Wonderful Paul, I am so glad you liked it and took it in stride.

Forum mods can edit any posts, and I could have done it -- but it was better to suggest and let you decide. Glad you did! 🙂

Cool no problem, I am happy for admins to go in and edit posts. As this enhances the first post people see.

@zleap

Presentation is always very important - we are competing for attention, a rare commodity when there is so much going on, so much noise.

So make the posts nice looking, well laid out and attractive. And everyone wins.

Looking at your post |I remember the mark down equivalent of <h1><h2> now use # ## etc

@zleap

Yes, Markdown is so lovely. Easy formatting and quickly we can get beautiful pages and documents done.

I use it always when posting at my Glitch and Pleroma accounts.

Then back to here, and it's a major let down. :(

I love this simplicity of markdown.

Also the easiness of making things in **bold** or in *italic*...

Indeed and Discourse also gives you a live preview, very handy as it is easy to get a tag wrong or out of place and not notice with a normal text editor.

@zleap @design_RG @freemo

Discourse also always ask if you want to invite other people while you write.

I'd love to have this asked when I hit reply.

@zleap

The preview is indeed nice. I have a local editor here that also shows previews if desired, but usually work on my Write.freely instance directly.

For Release posts at Glitch -- I always write the post in text editor here, then paste on GS.

But always as a DM to my alt account. Not public, and I can see it for error checking; delete and redraft until I am ready.

Finally, remove the alt tag, and make it public, post.

Nice and without leaving any traces in public view.
