So this has been a feature that I thought would come in handy many times…
I shall explain: So this is a request/idea for an option of making a Topic “Un-listed”. Un-listed would basically mean when you make a Topic such as a Feature Request it can only be seen by the original writer.
Well, what is the point of this Mr Pancake?
Ok, imagine you were making a feature request for adding an aircraft in. However, you want to practice making the request look nice, make sure there are no mistakes and play around with tools in the tool bar of the post, before you finally decide to post it… It’s a kind of “draft copy” I guess you could say…
Below I have included a screen shot from another forum I use (simpleplanes.com) which includes the option before you upload a post to make it either, “Public” OR “Un-listed”. Un-listed being the Draft/Beta before you decide to post it publicly. SP (SimplePlanes) also enables the original user to tag other users into the post.
(SP is a app that lets you build planes, as you can see this is a bad attempt with poor spelling :)) In the top right corner you can see it shows as “Un-listed”
Con:
All in all its basically a Direct Message but with the features that are in making a topic…
Sorry if this is confusing, if you don’t understand, just ask and i will try to make it more clear to you.
Use what your teacher taught you and elementary school and proofread before you post something important - or better yet send it to a fellow regular and they would be glad to give you their opinion.
Yes, but its basically a Direct Message but in the form of a post. You could tag a mod to pre-view the post before you even posted it. Saving the hassle of posting and then having to edit it all…
Right, so you made the post, asked for it to be unlisted, did more stuff to it to make sure it was all good and then re-listed it for all of us to see???
