A few small suggestions that could make the forums a bit easier to navigate, anyone?
Here we go:
A "Save Post" Button
Have you ever seen a post you want to see over and over again, whether it be useful info, or a funny joke, or anything you want saved? Despair no longer, TCF! Now, with a simple click of your mouse, you can save any post on the forum! The button would be down there with +Quote and Reply, under every post. You could view the list under the mouseover menu under your username.
Pros:
-Could make it easier to find specific posts
Cons:
-None, this idea actually seems quite simple and easy, with nothing to hold it back
Example:
Let's say Mangle is reading a thread. He finds a post that has useful information, so he saves the post. He could later visit a list of saved posts, and go right to the saved post! There would obviously be an "Unsave Post" option, too!
"Read Later" Button
I've always felt that we need a way to go beyond simply "Watching" a thread. How about a way to add a thread to a list of threads you want to read later/save for later? The button to add a thread to this list could be next to "Watch Thread" or under the "Thread Tools" menu. You could access your list from the menu that opens when you mouse over your name. This would be useful so we could save a thread without having to reply to it and getting unwanted (or wanted) alerts. If you have a thread on this list, maybe a little symbol of a list could appear where the sticky/watching thread symbols are.
Pros:
-Make reading threads easier
-Prevents unwanted alerts
-Overall, pretty useful
Cons:
-Might be a bit confusing at first
-We already can search threads up
Example:
Mangle wants to read the "True Copper Shortsword" (#AdvertisingDon'tHateMe) thread. However, he has to go somewhere. He can click "Read Later" and easily find the thread when he comes back.
+Quote porting between threads
Multiquote drives me crazy. What if you want to quote a funny conversation, and then PM it to your friends, or report an entire chain of arguments to a mod? Nope, it only works for the thread you add them on. My point is to let multiquote quotes be able to be inserted into any thread or PM
Pros:
-Makes recording entire conversations much easier.
-Makes Multiquote useful
Cons:
-None that I can think of
Example:
Mangle just found a funny Forum Game chain going on. He wants to save the quotes to PM to his friend so he can see. He clicks +Quote, and then goes to the PM. He can then insert quotes from anywhere that he has multiquoted previously. Simple, right?
So what do you think?
