    I think it would be nifty if the daily newsletter had links in each news item to go to the forum discussion thread for that news item. It would encourage more discussion about the news items, and it's kind of inconvenient to go to the forum and find the thread for it "manually". I'm often curious what fellow CodeProjecters are saying about the news items or I want to say something about it myself but the friction involved in getting to the thread often dissuades me from doing it in the morning. Thoughts? :)

      I agree. I would rather that the link takes me to the forum first and then I could decide if I want to read the target link (offsite).

          As an option - OK As the actual (only) target, or as the default? No. By and large, one should read the article before one comments on it!

            I'm not suggesting it should be the default when you click the title of the article, I meant that there should be a link somewhere for the discussion, i.e. next to the source line perhaps, or a little discussion icon next to the title that goes to the forum or whatever.

                Well, do you propose that the link exists and be incorporated into the email prior to the start of any discussion - as the link is the subject. So - link to what? What you wish, by the way, is typically at the bottom of the page:   one or two items that are based specifically upon CP content.

                  I don't really understand what you are getting at. What I would like is that for each news item, the newsletter would have a small link, like for example a link that says "[discussion]" next to the "Source: XYZ News" line in each news item that goes to the forum discussion for that news item. "So - link to what?" - the thread in the insider news forum for that news item.

                      I think he was just suggesting posting this (great) idea to the suggestion forum[^]

                        Ah...makes sense. Is there a way for admins to move this thread or should I repost it?
