Complete site rebuild, loss of previous functionalities and introducing communities

I'm afraid you can't do that. You cannot set specific parts of a page not to be indexed, either the whole page is indexed or nothing at all.

This is the reason we use usernames instead of your actual name over here. Usernames are supposed to be anonymous but if someone decides to use the actual name, then there's not much we can do about it. Note that this is a public forum, so users are expected not to post things they'd be embarrassed to show to other people. There's just one exception to this, if there's something really personal (eg domestic violence or embarrassing illness) that someone would like advice on, in this case, they can post as anonymous - a feature to be implemented soon.

We used to have a delete button and we're not introducing this back. People would comment and others would reply and then some time later, they would decide to delete their comment and this breaks the flow of conversation. You'd see a reply which doesn't make sense anymore because the person to which the reply was made has deleted their comment. We have this in our terms or use or FAQ page, that once you've posted something, you cannot delete it afterwards.

We do allow edits, if you wanted to provide more information in your answer or fix typos but that was abused as well. People would removed their whole comment and just enter "..." again breaking the flow of conversation. Edits will be allowed but it will have to be approved by a moderator to take effect.

On my TODO list is private messaging. So you'd be able to ask questions to specific users.

I hope that clarifies why things are the way they are :)

Yes it's clear now. Thank you Gices and have a nice day :))

hi Gices I can't join the suggested communities

Which communities are you having problems joining?

the page where you get to click on 'I'm interested' I think it has learn ukulee, bible, learn sanskrit, parkour, mam ect. I click and nothing works

Aye..looks like it's missing the click event. Thanks for letting me know :)

Thanks for saving the click event. I thought it was as dead as a dodo....

@sarah_7 I've restored the voting functionality if you wanted to give it a try.

I vote for Gices

lol, thanks.

Btw you get points when someone votes on your posts (upvotes +1, downvotes -1).

And before you ask, downvotes are hidden as no one likes negative feedback but they are used to determine which posts should show first..

oh something else I need to mention, the way I have the communities set up is basically only AskTheMauritians one may have posts written in any language you want, all other ones should be in English.

There's reasoning behind this, the targeted audience for the other communities is international (mostly UK/US/Europe), hence any language other than English would not make sense for these people.

There's supposed to be a pinned post on the topic list page which gives you all info you need regarding that community but I haven't had time to write it down.

The website also uses markdown, so you can do things like link, bold, italics or images. The textarea should have an information text about this but again, I haven't had time to add this in. Just google markdown and you'll see the syntax, it's more for power users anyway, which you are ;)

May I edit your post to translate your french sentence into english on the exercise community?

man this is more complex than the 6 languages that I've learned....wait wait wait which post o.O?

marvelous i need to get some points for exams....

ah i saw it. i wrote the question in english and the description in french so no need to translate. Actually I find it exhausting to have description as compulsory
