TEST: Article Format

Version 2.2 adds three discussion types: Poll (now a separate format), Article, and Question. I'm testing it out now. Feel free to join the test with your comments. Silly is ok for this test.

Let's see how this works. Is this message the article? I now that the article will stay pinned to the top, even if the thread goes to a 2nd or 3rd page.

I also attached a PDF. Can you see it? Or do you need to download it?

My thesis: The sky is blue because God is sad.

PDF automatically downloads when I click on it, then it opens the file in a new tab. The file is permanent, I have to delete it manually. I'm using firefox on windows.

The main difference between this format and the question one is that the name/profile picture of the first poster have been moved to the bottom; so the text area is a bit wider.
The replies (incl. mine) appear the same as normal.

Also "question" seems to add the ability to vote and sort the replies by best or most recent, while "article" doesn't.

I clicked the pdf in four different browsers and I was not allowed to read/download the pdf while I was not logged-in. This means that non-members are not able to read the information. I think that might be a disadvantage.
