in forum discussion threads.
Personally I prefer a link, it's less 'in yer face' and seems more optional.
I've used both at times.
What do you think?

Every form of social media - including forums like this one - contains "news feeds" these days** - sometimes with an opinion piece in the form of commentary, sometimes just with a heading and a link.

I think it is down to individual tastes which version people prefer for getting their news and there is no way of settling on a certain style, unless GNHQ makes it a rule.

At the moment I am super bored with clicking on links (especially if they load very slowly) and marginally less bored with reading opinion pieces. Speaking generally! grin
