Note that we plan to move Add Post to either a pop-up dialog or inline form. With a pop-up dialog, the background would be de-emphasized.

Regarding the opening of the Post Detail view when you click on the Header or Timestamp in the POSTS stream, this is similar to the way that Twitter works if you click on the timestamp for a tweet. For special posts like Shared Emails, the detail view is the only way to view the full content. For a regular post, sometimes people like to open the post in its own view just for viewing purposes. This can be handy on mobile, especially. This is the same detail view you see when you click to open a Post from a link in the CHAT tab.

We have talked about allowing Posts to be pinned in the nav bar. That might come with a "favorites/bookmarks" option.

An example of where a Post will open in a separate tab is when you have an in-progress chat message and you click to open a Post. We'll take another look at that...it probably isn't necessary.

At the moment, we save the name of the forum/team with the post and notification, for performance reasons. We had thought about going back and updating those when the name changes, but we thought perhaps it's good to see that information accurately reflecting that point in time. When the post was made, it really was in the "idea forum".

We'll revisit this, though.

We'll look into this. Would you expect a similar "compact" view of the POSTS stream? Thanks!

Are you picturing a situation where somebody outside of your Account would then be able to get into your forum anonymously and view the post?
