Separated discussion page of all the problems
By flash_7, history, 9 years ago, In English

Why doesn't codeforces have the feature of separated discussion page for all the contest problems.After the contest sometimes it becomes too hard to solve many problems.Though the editorials are provided but sometimes we also can't understand the editorial properly.Sometimes we have lots of confusions with the problem description and the logic and algorithm to solve that problem.So that would be really great if codeforces provide the feature for discussing the specific problems in separated discussion pages/forums where all the participants will be able discuss on that problem.Besides, that will be also helpful for other participants who will try to solve those problems in future.Because they can then see the previous discussions on any problem and clarify their confusions.Of course i like all the codeforces features very much but it's just my own opinion as i feel it most of the times :)

I think they already do..Most of time you can find discussions of the problems in the editorial's page.

I think a better idea if the some of the community would post brief explanations of their solutions after solving problems, so you can get more variety of editorials, but then again, that's very time consuming for most people. Instead, I encourage you to have a look at coders who write well understandable code. ( You can find in these names in another threads).

Maybe a better encouragement is to label Editorials as "Editorials + Discussion".

    For the recent contests it works.But for too old contests most of the times it's too hard to get any reply :(

      It ups the blogs in recent actions, so people can see it.

      Do you think that it 'd be easier to get answers for old problems in separate pages?

        The blog system is obviously very good,but sometimes there are also too many discussions which are not related to any contest problem.And also sometimes too many comments related to all of the problems.So it becomes a little bit hard to find any comment related to the problem i find.

        If somehow the comments can be categorized according to the problems on that contest and then showing them on a separate page(with a given link on the problem page) as well as on that blog post.

        If any user add any new comment on any of the page(the blog post or the separated page for that problem) then that'll be updated on both pages.
