Feel free to revert my edit or change it. And I hope the parties involved aren't offended. The replies were emblematic. | |

Added a really good example of the confusion from veteran SO users. Remove the screenshot if you feel it was inappropriate.

| Mar 4, 2025 at 17:43 | comment | added | Ξένη Γήινος | I don't mean to be offensive, but why do you post 4 answers to the same question? Why don't you just post one answer and just edit it to expand it? | |

| Mar 4, 2025 at 0:37 | comment | added | David Robie | Yeah, I'm referenced in this answer (Loss of Functionality). I had intended it to just be a comment, in the hopes that the person with the original answer still works on this and has an update that they could add to their original answer. I thought about making it a new post, but if people are already directed to that post when searching the internet, keeping it there would be easier to understand. I did not intend to create a new discussion, but I was confused and misled by the wording of the new system. It is very unhelpful, and instances like this will continue. | |

| Feb 28, 2025 at 18:35 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | I actually wonder if users are misinterpreting "Ask a follow-up question" to mean "ask a follow-up question on StackOverflow not Discussions." I see this sort of thing often enough that I almost feel like asking a legit follow-up question to a real question should be a real thing. Someone attempts a solution, runs into trouble, and then they post something sizable on Discussions. It would be nice if these follow-up questions were real SO questions referring back to the original question. | |
| Feb 28, 2025 at 18:33 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | I came to SO meta just now to see if anyone else has noticed this sort of thing. It feels like comments are redirected to discussions, but the person doesn't have a topic to discuss. It's too bad there isn't a way to move these kinds of discussions into the staging ground to work on them becoming a question -- or at least have a path from "this should be a question on SO" to "now it is a question on SO." | |
