| | Would it be possible to enhance (or better yet, replace) the forum interface
to allow functionality like the following:
- Likes and other reactions to posts and comments (a sometimes useful indicator
of whether a view is widely shared or an outlier; and also enables people to
chime in without having to post their own "me too" comments)
- Ability to quote more than one prior comment (without having to do so totally
manually)
- Ability to reply to more than one comment if the prior comments are in different
sub-branches of the thread
- Ability to edit comments rather than cancelling them altogether and starting
over
It seems there are a good number of simple, plug-and-play forum software systems
around today that enable such features and much more without a whole lot of administrative
setup effort.
Thanks!

It's not so simple as that. Yes, we need more features, but a plug-and-play
system won't work. Parts of our Catalog system work extensively with the
Forum. We can't just throw that away. The entire process would need to be
reworked and developed.
Look in Topics to the entire Reference Catalog section.

Plus, aside from discord, I haven't yet met a Forum that worked as well as
this one. That is, once you learn the functions and get past the vintage graphical
interface.  Most forums also have too much visual clutter.
