New "My Threads" Feature Idea

[DarkCloud]

I was just thinking yesterday... and remembering some threads that I liked to watch, but I didn't want to post in and didn't want to receive emails from (yes I know about that feature) and I was wondering if... at some point, when apolyton maybe received 60K users Mark or Dan might be interested in adding a feature to MY THREADS that allows a user to click a button on a thread and add it to MY THREADS without having to post in it.

Perhaps this feature idea might decrease spam...

But if you're too busy and I know you're busy then don't feel rushed

Just wondering, does anyone else think this would be useful?

My, my, did you get something in your eye, DC, or is the Moderator's Right-Eye Syndrome contagious to all staff members?

Interesting idea about the my threads feature, but I'm afraid it might involve a major revamping of source code...

Besides, I don't know if anyone would want to watch a thread that they never post in, but it would certainly be useful to keep some of the older threads you want to keep in there. I currently use the Notepad to save the URL's of the threads I might want to reference at a (much) later date, like the Photoshop Challenge - movie posters and the Whoah! Optical Illusion time ones, for instance.

Hey I like this idea! I find it very useful not always I want to post in every thread I like, or sometimes I don't have anything to add, but I like to read what the others are discusting. Yeah, I use the lurker mod

Vovan, I don't see any image in the Photoshop Challenge thread

[Alex]

the idea is cool. i would like it to be implemented.

[MrBaggins]

Being able to opt out of "My Threads" in a thread you've posted in would be nice too

[alva]

Certainly has potential.

Guess it is time to remove the link from my notepad then. The images were all there, when I saved the link though, and they were pretty cool, too.

Then perhaps we should start another Photoshop Challenge

[DrSpike]

Nice idea for the lurkily minded.

great... I love photoshop challenge...

Question: How many people use the My Threads feature? I don't.

[DrSpike]

I don't usually, but whilst I was away over Christmas I had intermittent access with a lameass connection, and I found the feature very useful then.

[alva]

Huh, I use it all the time, one the best features around IMHO.

[Alex]

Me too, use it all the time.

Sava- I use My Threads- every day- it's how I navigate the forums

I post my replies, then Hit "Submit Reply (return to forum" and browse the new threads

It's quicker that way
