| One primary suggestion with a couple of afterthoughts.
I would like the option to ignore a particular thread in the forum. This way
if a thread is taking up way too much space, I can choose to ignore it. It has
nothing to do with wanting to ignore a particular member, just to shrink things
down to what I want to see.
If I had the time (which I don't), I would probably read all of it, but on
the days that I am really busy, I want to be able to go through and hit the highlights.
I can filter by "without replies", but that won't show me older threads that
have new messages.
So perhaps a ignore button at the top or bottom of each post which when selected
will enable a button at the top of the forum that says show ignored messages.
So a side note on this which would allow this to be a great way for the users
to "police" the forum. Would be to do something like-- if a message gets
10 ignores (or whatever number makes the most sense). It automatically doesn't
show to nonmembers. If a message gets say 50 ignores, it automatically gets ignored
by all users--with a button at the top to view ignored messages. Maybe allow,
in user settings, the option to always show ignored threads. This way the forum
junkies can get their fix, but general users won't be bothered with it unless
they choose to.
Another side suggestion, would be to have a "was this post helpful" at the bottom
of a post, or even just a like button, and where a certain number of votes
will keep that post from archiving forever. We don't need to hang on to everything.
No one is going to care what sale I was running 3 years ago. But helpful buying
and selling advice would be a great asset if it stayed in the archives. And it
really is a shame that some of these great posts that have been lost.
Oh, and before I hit post, one other one that has really been bugging me lately.
It would really be great to have a second set of arrows at the top and bottom
of a thread which would allow you to see the next post in that thread only.
Also, to have the ability to view one branch and all its replies on a single
thread. That way I don't have to load the entire thread if I'm only interested
in reading this little branch, and all the replies related to it. When I'm
reading a branch on a familiar post, but I show up in the middle, I can be a
bit lost. So I load the whole thread so I can read the entire context of that
conversation, but sometimes (especially if the thread is really long) it can
be a bit of a pain to just scroll through and find where that exact branch starts.
Thanks for listening,
Katie

Great, as I cannot vote on my own--I voted yes on yours---surprised it
wasn't already on my list.

Lol oh yeah forgot about this one. I replied with my version that also allow
just subnode to be ignored too. Very dusty, I had to bring dust buster to read
posts.

My old suggestion from Jan 2011(!) http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=504242
But yeah I still want it very much. My version does allow for more flexibility
of ignoring just SUB thread.
One part I'm not sure is 50+ ignores so on.
