Posts & feed

Posts by your members in Markdown, plus polls and questions — chronological in the feed, open to discussion like everything else.
From the Personal plan. Without a subscription the feed is not included.

Where comments hang under something, posts are the something: your members write for themselves, and the feed shows what is happening, in order.

Three kinds of post

KindWhat it's for
PostThe normal case: title (optional) and text in Markdown
PollUp to six options, optionally with a closing date
QuestionLike a post, but marked as a question

The text is Markdown (up to 10,000 characters), titles up to 200. Raw HTML is allowed nowhere — that holds for all content in Pukalani.

Polls

  • Up to six options of 100 characters each.
  • Every member has one vote.
  • The results become visible once you have voted yourself or the poll has closed — until then nobody sees the running count. That stops the first vote from pulling the rest along.
  • With a closing date the poll ends by itself.

Votes

Posts can be voted up and down. The counting is done by the server, not the browser — so the number on screen cannot be manipulated.

The states of a post

Comments and moderation

Comments run under every post. Posts can be reported, hidden and restored — the tools for that are described in Moderation.

Any signed-in member can write; hiding and restoring is for the moderator role and above (see Members & roles).
