It’s great and both sides benefit IMO:
- blog benefits from the forum spirit
- forum benefits from easy way to comment on blogs and because we don’t need that topic anymore.
Two ideas and one question:
- Omit
width
andheight
properties of images for the forum because otherwise blog posts scroll horizontally on the forum. Discourse automatically scales images to full post width. - Sort the comments below “Notable Replies” by the likes they got on the forum. (Not sure about the consequences and the implication, but we should talk about it.)
- Do you think the hurdle to comment for “forum outsiders” has become higher because they now need to create a forum account?
