There are a lot of threads with great information that simply get buried because of the activity level of the forum. I know that we have "subscribed threads", but with auto-subscribing on coupled with the fact that they only show up in your main usercp page if there is a recent post, I still end up searching for old threads. So my suggestion is to have a "bookmark this thread" link under quick links or somewhere like that. You could just have it run a javascript to add a bookmark, or retain the bookmarks in the database so that users could view their bookmarks easily from within their UserCP. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
Oh sure. Point out the obvious. . Still for people like me who are totally oblivious to the CTRL+D thing, it would be helpful.
What I would like is more flexibility with the subscriptions. Sort of a bookmark function built into vbulletin that would allow you to name the thread instead of simply using the thread's title and allow you to move threads to different folders within the subscribed threads. I guess I need to go to jellsoft and let them know.
One thing you can do is have different subscription folders (for example I have a "Revisit" folder to tag threads when I need to go back and look at them for something).
Would some kind of unofficial wiki work ?, where people could put the good threads into it, hopefully reducing the noise for when you need a quick checkup on the good stuff.. Kind of subjective, but could police itself im sure.
Actually, I think that's a really good idea. I hate having to go hunting for old threads.. you just KNOW someone posted something about it 6 mths ago, but try and find it.. Yep, a Wiki would be great ! JL
I do that too, but would like more flexibility. Maybe I have a subscription to a thread b/c I posted in it, but now I'd like to move it to my "revisit" folder - can't. You have to remove the subscription & resubscribe. Also, instead on only seeing the thread's title in the list, I'd like to be able to give it a name I will remember (lots of threads have title that aren't very descriptive of their content).
