Comment:

 In [changeset:"51976" 51976]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="51976"
 Admin/Discussion Settings: attempt to clarify intent of "Default post
 settings" section.

 This changes the descriptive text underneath 3 settings that are
 frequently overridden by individual posts & pages, and are also often
 misunderstood to work differently than they do.

 "(These settings may be overridden for individual posts.)"

 ...becomes...

 "Individual posts may override these settings. Changes here will only be
 applied to new posts."

 * Parenthesis were removed to improve text layout and flow for RTL
 languages.
 * Original statement was reworded to emphasize "individual posts".
 * New statement provides clarity to users about settings changes not being
 retroactive.

 Props audrasjb, johnjamesjacoby, sabbirshouvo, sabernhardt, tobifjellner.

 Fixes #54300.
