It’s helpful, not really a waste of time.
I said it would be, but not to the extent that its worth wasting Bjarn’s time when there are other more important changes that can be made.
Besides the merging of topics, what changes do you have in mind? I should note that top sites such as Gaia have a subscribed thread feature.

Fine, request whatever you want, im not saying I wouldnt like it, but I think its to big of a project and not important enough right now knowing this site seriously needs some changes, not additions ATM.

So you should be able to name some of those changes. Obviously, the forums themselves. I am merely trying to make it user friendlier.

You’re sounding like I did when I was telling you how shitty your idea was that night.

We should let him focus on fixing the forum organization instead of giving him things we could just do with our bookmarks.

I never said this should be priority number 1. I think making sure the site looks as clean as possible is priority 1.

It seems the most popular user on mvc, the prophet, and the man who made the 2,000,000th post are all in agreement.
yupp yupp yupp
i suggested it a long while back when i was doing work on a few forum sites of my own
it was a default on the free forums that i was working with
and i thought it was a great idea lol

Favorite topic list. Where users can basically subscribe to a topic and can come back to it whenever they want and don’t have to dig it up.
This makes sense.
It’s also possible, as I’ve done it before, to allow PM’ing to oneself and have a saved messages folder to index that, and other important things, that way.
At the same time I’m saying that because it’s something that’s been lacking here and kind of bothering me lol, not being able to send myself messages and saving them.
But yeah, good idea otherwise.

Ignore list. Self explanatory. Some times people flame other, with this it would save the trouble of having lots of reports to deal with when people can just ignore.
Honestly, hate to be an ass or something...but if you can’t ignore people online yourself, how is one to deal with it in real life? Or anything like that?
On the programming end of it, I have no idea how it would work, but it sounds really complex to be honest...on the PM end, I could kind of see it, but public messages...to account for IP’s and user accounts and whatnot just for that specific person, which then has to be indexed differently for every person...when one could just ignore the person themselves and not reply...
As for dealing with a lot of reports, I REALLY doubt any of the mods have ever thought that as a problem, except for the spam-searcher thing that was implemented that reported a lot of non-rulebreaking posts.

The way Bjarne has the site set up, it shouldn’t be that complicated. A code can auto recognize what posts to phase out depending on a person’s account number. Every member is designated a specific join number.
Admins at this point are able to appoint topic moderators by imputing that account number into a box.
This system can be similar to that. Click an ignore button that appears automatically on every post and it searches that post maker’s account number and automatically registers it to be hidden from another account number.
I do believe it’d end up taking Bjarne a few hours to encode it... But it doesn’t seem all that complicated.
