Accessing Back End Section to the Forum

I have a feeling this is a bug.

If you click to go to the General Discussion section of the Forums and then select 'The Foyer' it will you navigate you to the page I have uploaded.  Judging by the presence of the 'Puzzle Club-Bot' I would guess this is not desired.

But it did allow me to check out MikeT's really awesome sound!

Notice however that not all submissions are listed there - only the ones that have had comments left on them. Going to try to make another appear now.

Yep. So I've exposed another entry (495) in The Foyer by leaving a comment upon it. When you leave a comment on someone's yet-to-be-vote-ready submission, it waits for a while, then a dialog reports that the service has failed. But it doesn't appear to have actually failed, and comment is now attached.

Another question might be - is this actually a bug?

Currently everybody can see everybody else's submissions, so there is transparency.

If this gets 'fixed' then that privilege lies only with a select few - a few who may be submitting/voting themselves.

These are all the comment threads on various submissions - the current bug is that they're not being filtered properly into a (currently) hidden category, so they're ending up in the foyer by default.

We've had several discussions about whether to show or hide these threads - I'm in favor of keeping them visible in the forums, and it sounds like @nozcumber is too.

So, for the time being, this IS a bug - once we decide whether to hide or show the threads they'll get moved.
