Site improvements for 2012
« on: December 05, 2011, 04:57:47 PM »
I'm looking to make some improvements to SBG in 2012 and want to get your feedback.  What would YOU like me to add to the site?

Please keep it focused and on topic...I really want to understand what you guys want.

What about a feature to "follow" other users. There are certain users whose commentary I enjoy reading. It'd be nice to know when the post new comments.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

I've got one:d
what about a facebook "like" button for every topic? (yes, it is possible).
This way, we'll promote the website all over facebook :)
(1 like = e new "story" added to profile of the one that "liked" that topic :)

Another bulletin board that I monitor provides a feed with the latest post on the top of the list.

Of all the treads, the thread with the most recent post is at the top of the list and then following in order. It's easy to review the most recent posts.

The various discussion groups on sbg seems to not do this. There are some "NEW" flags that show up, but it's not simple to find them quickly.

This would be a nice feature.  You do have the main page scroll, but it only goes back about 7 or 8 posts.

At the top of the screen, to the right of SLY BALD GUYS FORUM you should see the following links to help you do exactly what you want to do:

Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

Is there anyway to add a "new response to your quote or response" taking you directly to the part of the thread it may pertain?

I'll look into that.
