marklcfc Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 If I post a topic to the forum, and use forum for comments and then after turn it off, will the news post still have those comments from the forum topic and will it stay on the forum too? The idea was to post some topics to forums, but not all.
opentype Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 If you stop it, you unassign it. So the database won’t show any forum comments anymore and use database comments instead. The forum topics will stay.
marklcfc Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 So do the comments made on the first article where both options were active, then disappear?
opentype Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 There is no “both options”. It’s either forum storage (shown in 2 places) or database storage (shown below the record only). As said, if you deactivate forum storage, nothing will show below the articles anymore. It will wait for new database comments.

Yeah, my point is I wanted to share one article to the forum but then keep the comments for that article when I turn it off and don't post further articles to the forum. Maybe now and then I would want to share an article into the forum, but not every single one. I didn't know whether that was possible.
opentype Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Just paste or link the article manually in the forum if its just sometimes.
marklcfc Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 It's a bit confusing. So this is what I had it as for my first article, posted to the forum and forum comments appeared in the news item as well. News item also allowed for comments which I assume show in both news item and forum topic If I turn post topic off, what happens to that news item that had comments? Do the comments disappear for good?
opentype Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Told you 2 times already. ;-) With those settings your record did NOT have comments. The comments were posted in the forum and (in addition) SHOWN below the record. But they aren’t stored there and will disappear if you unlink it. Just as I said and just as the decription below the setting says.
