Deleting a recent shout deletes all recent shouts from that location
Earlier today, I shouted that I'd arrived at UGNW.
Just now, I used the cool new "leave" feature to shout that I was leaving UGNW, "headed hom".
I noticed that I'd left off the "e" in "home", so I hit the "x" in the bottom-right corner of the box containing "Urban Grind NW" and those two shouts, and they *both* disappeared.
It'd be nice to only remove the most recent one - I can always hit the X again if I want 'em both gone.

Inappropriate?Hey Brian,
I think the confusion comes from trying to understand shouts and their relationship to the messages contained within the shout.
As we all know, a shout is a declaration of one's physical location at a specific Place. If we re-shout from that same Place within a given time (currently 12 hours), without shouting from another Place in the meantime, it is considered a Re-Shout, or just an update of the shout time for your current shout.
As for messages, every message is associated with a specific shout. If you re-shout from a Place with a new message, it is considered a new message that is attached to the original Shout. There can be multiple messages associated with one shout.
Shizzow currently only features the capability to delete a shout. It unfortunately does not feature the capability to edit/delete a message attached to a shout. So if you delete a shout, you are also deleting all of the messages contained within that shout.
Maybe editing/deleting a message within a shout would be a nice feature to include?
Does that help clear things up?
Cheers,
- Ryan -
Inappropriate?Hi Ryan - thanks. I didn't realize that there was an internal distinction between "shouts" and "messages"; I guess I thought there was just one thing, and output formatting cleverly grouped those things that applied to the same place.
Certainly, the UI does convey what will happen: there's one X in the "shout" box, and clicking it deletes all the messages for that shout. I guess I was just surprised that what I wanted to do (fix the typo on the most recent message) caused me to lose both messages (as it happens, the earlier one was longer and funnier.) Maybe the X could just delete the most recent message, and if it happened to be the only message for that shout, it could delete the shout too? -
Inappropriate?Thanks for the feedback Bryan. We're glad to be aware of the UI confusion and will keep it in mind that we might need to make some changes here to make this functionality / the shout-message relationship a little more clear...
I'll call this "Not a Problem" in Get Satisfaction, but will open a ticket in our tracker system to make sure we don't lose site of it!
Cheers,
