‘So there’s a feature you’d like and you want other people to pay for it. Are you sure you’re on the right forum?’
I know where I am. Everyone who donates one penny to FR pays for a format that we all deal with whether we like it or not. Maybe it won’t cost much at all to implement a filter! Who knows? Well, we won’t, because no one is gonna spend 10 seconds looking into it.
“I want” doesn’t impress me much. “I will” does. Should I expect to see your name on the monthly donors list this time around?
I am going to give you a clue, bub.
(Climbing on soapbox)
This software - despite your perceptions that it lacks the bells and whistles of Facebook or MyButt such as the exalted BOZO filter is pretty damn good. It allows a user to know when he is pinged and can follow threads of discussions within posts to their ultimate end.
There is little or no canned forum software that does that. Been there, done that.
The support required behind the scenes to monitor posts and signups is enough to drive most adults slowly nuts. Been there, done that.
Customizing the software to allow bozo filters would add a layer of complexity that I expect the current management has already investigated and dropped.
People who complain about stuff they know nothing of are always an amusement. This is your lucky day, you are almost on my auto-bozo filter.
