I often lose my topics, and I usually have to skim through my history to find my thread link. A solution to this would be to create a "my topics" section off to the side, preferably next to your username at the top. Clicking on this would lead to all topics you have made, and all with links to that topic. I think this would be a crafty feature for the forums, and an easy solution to losing your topics. Another feature for the forums would be the "subscribe" button. This allows you to subscribe to any topic you wish, and allows you to 'follow' replies to a topic, meaning that if player A replies to a thread that you like, you would be instantly notified through possibly pm, or through the website. You would likely be subscribed to your own topics, that way you don't have to constantly check threads that you've created. Please post feedback!
[Idea] A "subscribe'" button and a "my topics" section for the forums
Wait, they fired their web designer?
@Mushy
Almost certain. They haven't updated anything in ages...if they had a designer, the media page would be up to date.
That's interesting. I hope they get a new one soon, because I'd like an update on this soon.
Until they DO rework the website, my advice to you is to start making bookmarks. If you use Safari, have all you topics and the ones you want to be subscribed to be added to your reading list. It's similar to bookmarks, but they can be changed and updated much more easily (not sure if any other browser uses a function like this).
And if you ever lose the threads you need, be them your own or someone else's, a good way (or should I say the only way) to find them is to just do a simple google search for it. Either under the author's name or some keywords that single it out from other threads.
they fired their web designer. that's the root of the 75% of the problems of the forums.
up to now, open word or whatever you have to substitute it, and copy the URL of the topic in the page. then save the page.
