Your opinions, give me them.

Tim

Several of the threads here have given me an idea, and I want to run it by y00z fukkz and see if its something I should seriously consider implementing.

Thinking about threads like:
- The Official Bug Thread
- Detroit, Who's coming with me
- The Official Rules Thread
- Any Tournament Thread

One of the biggest issues is keeping track of the 'state' of the discussion. What I mean is, in the bug thread for example, people forget what bugs I already know about, so the same shit gets reported 5 times. It is annoying to page back to the first post and look at the list.

Same thing in Tournaments and any "listing" thread. You either have to maintain a running list, or re-post the same list over and over every few pages.

Would it be useful if the first post (basically, the original discussion itself) could be "detached" somehow, for certain threads, and appear at the top of every page (obviously with some kind of padding or other signifier to show that is it separate from the comments). This way we could refer back to the original post on any page of the thread, without paging around.

Or would this be really dumb.

It might be helpful.

I think it could be very useful, especially for tournament threads.

Santana

If we can maybe minimize and maximize it like the spoiler tags or like you do with internet tabs, I think it would be very cool. If not, well it would still be cool lol

You already pointed out the types of threads it would be useful for, so I say go for it.

HOODS

lets give it a try :-bd

Tim

Yeah, whoever made the discussion (plus obviously mods and admins) could turn it on per discussion.

Worth a shot. Probably will get annoying, but you never know until you try.

I get excitement at your feet. 8-X

So are you saying this an "anti-Will" device?

Tim

Ahaha

is it a lot of coding? seems like it could be useful if you want to spend your time on it. It sounds almost like a step closer to implementing polls.

Tim

a step closer to implementing polls.

In the same way that starting a chicken farm is a step closer to baking cake. Yes.

WakeOfAshes

:-)) nice analogy. On other message boards I frequent that have polls, the polls always ride on top no matter how many pages of replies people give.

Tim

Its a trivial plugin to write in any case. We fire an event at the top of the comment list so I would just hook that event and call WriteComment($Discussion);
