Requests

Hi everyone,
so as we're moving to the next iteration of this forum, I wanted to ask you all what you'd like to see, as well.

I know a way to contact someone privately is a big request, we'll have that. What else?

- How about an Ignore User function?

- Since apparently no one uses the Search feature, how about locating it somewhere very prominently on each page, including where users create threads?

How about a way to see the most recent comments posted, and not just the most recently created posts. That is, when someone adds to a post, it could be noted somewhere on page 1 that that particular post has more comments.

Something simple...
when you open a long thread with multiple pages, then it should open on the last page, not the first.

Miami "I know a way to contact someone privately is a big request, we'll have that." The way I read that is that we will have a form of PM.

adrimm says on Jun 28, 2006, 18:51:

A discussions-that-I-have-participated-in feature Something so that when we log in, we have an option to see what threads that *we* (individually) have posted in, and which have been active. Lonely Planet has one, and it is called "Today" there.

It's great becuase then we can more easily access the specific threads that we have participated in and makes it far easy to keep a discussion going 1) when we don't have to wade through multiple days of non-related posts to find it and 2) when we don't remember who started the thread in the first place.

I second Kat on the emoticons :P
And I also like what Adrimm says. And I would add a 'find all post by user' search.

ok So we got emoticons, better ways to navigate the forums, and a PM function. I think drupal can handle all that (drupal.org is the software we run this baby on..)
