BBB Discussions moved again

morgaine

We now appear to have lost the BeagleBone Black section of knode discussions entirely.  (The blog still remains hierarchical per board.)

 

For the last week, our BBB discussions have resided in

 

Home >  the knode >  Single-Board Computers > BeagleBone Black > Discussions

 

Those threads have now been relocated to

 

Home >  the knode > Single-Board Computers > Discussions

 

URL: http://www.element14.com/community/community/knode/single-board_computers?view=discussions

 

 

In other words, there is nothing at all remaining to put these discussions into a BBB partition, group, section or community of their own, and the only reason why the Discussions listing shows all BBB threads is because nobody else within Single-Board Computers is currently posting anything.  The BBB threads listing will lose its focus on BBB as soon as some new SBC gains active discussions.

 

I really don't understand what appears to be a plan to defocus discussions about specific boards.  Very odd.  (Unless it's a bug of course.)  [Addendum: yes, it appears to be a bug]

 

Perhaps someone can explain the goals to us.

  • This is getting more bizarre by the minute.  This new thread I created turned up at

     

    Home > the knode > Single-Board Computers > BeagleBone Black > Discussions

     

    URL:  http://www.element14.com/community/community/knode/single-board_computers/next-gen_beaglebone?view=discussions

     

    The new breadcrumbs are probably what was desired.  Unfortunately the update has partitioned any new threads off from all our previous BBB Discussion threads, which were previously moored at BBB but are now floating away free.  I suspect we're just looking at a bug here, ie. previous threads haven't be reparented properly.

     

    While I'm noting forum funnies which are probably bugs, the BeagleBone_Black part of the URL has now reverted to next-gen_beaglebone, as in the blog.  It's a pretty good bet that this name change is the bug that has caused the previous threads to lose their mooring.

    Yes I agree, I don't think it's intentional.  May be when Drew split the thread it caused the problem.

    Perhaps the BBB discussions have evolved into a life form and is climbing the hierarchy till it eventually gets .... Home

    Yes, as soon as I saw where my new post appeared, ie. under BBB, it strongly suggested that this was not part of a design plan to defocus individual boards, but simply a bug.  Now we just need a flotilla of BBB-controlled drones to harpoon the errant threads before they float off into the sunset.

     

    The drone power can come from mixing metaphors. image
