1) Allow user to delete multi posts.
2) Warn user about multi posts
3) Do not mark thrads with the user as the last poster as unread
4) Mark a) New threads since last time on page
b) Unread threads and messages
c) Read threads and messages
5) Add an option to show Read threads or not, as well as more time ranges in time setting.

We need a search feature!!!!
ZanThrax posted 08-25-98 11:49 AM ET
A search feature would have to be able to look in the threads too. Searching by topic wouldn't be very helpful, since they don't always relate to actual subject matter. Like /\/ | /\/\ or the Nexus. It should not enable anyone to get into the Nexus.

I think it would be nice of them just to update the machine this thing is running on. It's getting a tad slow.

It's getting a tad slow because its getting more than a tad full. Those several hundred post thrads do take a while to load, though. It only gets really slow when there's a dozen of us here reading and posting at the same time.

It should also show the name of the most recent poster so that you don't waste time reloading a topic that you already replied to. The Forum list should show the most recent topic, so that you know if someone is responding to a thread that you're interested in.

Malabares can't change his e-mail. That's a bad thing, because if he has to register with a new name, he'll lose his hard earned post total. Kind of loses continuity too. Plus, if we could change all the thing's that we enter when we register, Armitage2 would be Armitage like he intended.

BTW Mike, how many of these suggestions have been implemented in that latest version that you found?
