[wp-forums] The future of the forums

[Handy]

Gonna have to get you a publisher's license for that book.  :-p

If I understand your treatise on why I'm all wet, my response would be as
follows:

When making a new post, there's a Post field for the err, post, and right
below it a "Send Post" button.  I'd propose that right to the left of that
"Send Post" button, we add a little drop-down box or series of check boxes
that list current/reasonable releases.

Something like:
older
1.5x
2.0x
2.1x
2.2beta (?)
Not listed.

Something along those lines at any rate.  Then, for each post (not
thread/topic) we know what release they're on.

Maybe even some helpful text next to it (Not sure what version?  Log in and
look at the bottom of any admin page!).

Anywho, that's my vision.
