Vanity: Forum Feature Request Thread
I, me, mine

Posted on 08/14/2002 8:56:02 PM PDT by mikenola

Everyone,

If there's been this type of thread before, pointers would be appreciated.

I thought it might be useful to having running thread of user suggestions to improve the forum. There have been some loose discussions during the freepathons, but maybe it's better to have a dedicated thread.

Here are a few I came up with:

Here's a big upgrade that will probably never happen:

I want to see all forums at once. From what I can tell, there is no way to do it. It's very frustrating.

The creation of an Abducted Child Forum.

And the creation of an Abducted Post/Poster Forum. Sort of a gathering place where the abducted can gather to discuss their experiences, let people know where they are, argue about who had a nicer milk-carton photo...

"right now multiple words produce an "a OR b" search, it would be nice to have the option of an "a AND b" function. "

It's already there dude: on the search page use the drop down menu and select "all words" or "exact phrase".
If you're using the search box on the latest posts page, you do have to wait until the first results come up. Then you're offered the drop-down menu choices.

What the hell do people post about on those threads, anyway?

"DAY 50 - Mary Jo Willickers Still Missing!" Those threads get to 800 hundred replies when the kid is still missing.

What is there to talk about? How many variants of "I'd castrate the guy" are there?

Does this mean nobody will be reading my posts anymore? Dammit! (Seriously, I think the moderators do this pretty well already.)

LOL If we do this will we have to include victims of alien abductions? We need to be inclusive and encourage diversity, doncha know.

Type GOTTA SEE THIS, without quotation marks, and use the "exact phrase" option.

Here is a thread that seems as if one were watching a 1 hour crime drama episode on one of the 4 major networks.

Resolution and closure in under 45 minutes......

"All Words" and "Exact Phrase" are not OR and AND.
