| 273522 | 2004-09-18 13:13:00 | Hi guys, I was just thinking: Wouldn't it be good to have a few more indicators (little icons on each post) for some more things, and a few other features, such as: A thread with a 'solved' problem could have say a green tick or something to let users know that the author has found his/her answer Ability to edit one of your posts A 'Bump' button in threads, and an icon for threads that have been 'bumped', meaning that those who see this icon will know the thread has not been answered and can visit it. Also, bumps will not show as replies. Feedback? Cheers George |

| 273523 | 2004-09-18 13:14:00 | Oh, and a limit to how many times a thread can be bumped, say three. | george12 (7) | ||

It would only dissuade further interaction. It's not like there are a startling number of threads on this forum as it is - it's hardly unmanageable. > Ability to edit one of your posts Required, Oh God it's required, however this software doesn't support it, a complete platform change is required as far as I'm aware. > A 'Bump' button in threads, and an icon for threads > that have been 'bumped', meaning that those who see > this icon will know the thread has not been answered > and can visit it. Also, bumps will not show as > replies. No. Just plain no. Thread bumping is an irritating practice. People can browse themselves - if they find a thread worth responding to they will respond. All bumping does is increase the post count of the few people (Stu and Mrs Bump) that repeatedly do it. > Feedback? See above. > Cheers George Why must people post sign!? |

| 273525 | 2004-09-18 13:27:00 | > Why must people post sign!? Because we want to :) I was browsing through the Jive forums website one day and I'm sure I saw mention of an edit feature in there. Will have to check it out again. Mind you, I don't mind not having the ability to edit, maybe I've become inured to making posting silly remarks. Cheers Murray P :D |

| 273527 | 2004-09-18 18:31:00 | I don't think they are bad at all, George. However, we do have limitations based on what the core system offers and a budget. Threads that are solved do tend to drift off, those that aren't solved can do so, too. Often the person asking the question doesn't say that they have fixed it or which suggestion worked, so it wouldn't get used a lot. However, keep up with the ideas. They don't hurt anyone. robo. |

People, An Editing of the 1500 items that come up in search "How To" and perhaps a seperating or grouping of these articles, to seperate the instructive, from the, loose inqusitive, that contain little or wander into O.T. A direct link in the Header to these "How To" would be most Proffesional. It would not be to hard to fit one more Tab into the Header bar shurely?. Dianne. |

| 273531 | 2004-09-18 23:57:00 | Um, yes, we could cure sleeplessness (some would argue we already do). We would need to do some serious editing before that happened. It's a thought though. robo. |
