I was in bed last night trying to sleep when my mind wandered back to some TL topic. I forgot what it was about, but I thought about going back to see if anyone responded to my post. But given how the message board currently works, that would be a hassle unless that topic had been bumped constantly. And so,

SUGGESTION: Implement a Tag feature, where a poster can Tag topics and go back to it when he pleases. This could be limited to those rank 3 and above, and wouldnt allow more than 30 topics to be tagged.

SUGGESTION: Implement a user posting history (viewable only by that user). Itll take him to a page where it shows his last 50 messages, and click on one will take him to that post.

Either of these two would be nice, although the first would probably be less work on the server.

user posting history for only that user has been discussed in another website feedback thread.

tag feature... cant you just copy paste the url into your profile if it's that important for you to remember threads? =S

Posts history might be implemented in the future. Part of the staff are fine with the idea while a few don't like it too much for different reasons.

Tag feature, why not, but I think something more useful would be to be able to display only the threads in which one's posted in. That or at least to be able to differentiate them in some way.

As i understood it, haji, he meant threads would have the tags attached to them so everybody can see them. On the forum overview page for example.

you mean they can see the topics you tagged when they look in your profile?

Thats a good idea. That way anyone who thinks your a douche can quickly see what kind of topics, articles, etc you have contributed before hating you.

Many of those other forums weren't coded like TL.net was (I believe I read somewhere on here it was coded by hand, not some template?) If this is the case adding it in would be a lot of work.

To clarify a bit, yeah, it would probably go in My TL.net, and therell be an option to see your "posting history" or your "tagged threads". This would be viewable only to yourself. Handy if you want to track a thread.
