Idea for Thread Title Lists (naming who started them)

81 replies

hub2dee · 11/06/2005 09:26

In Active Convos, for example, you see long lists of thread titles. Sometimes I think it would be useful to see who created them before I have a look. (We can currently only see who the last poster was).

Does anyone think it would be useful to have the name of the person who started the thread in brackets next to it, or would it be cliquey / irrelevant / annoying ?

For example:

Topic Area: Thread Title (Name of Thread Creator) - Number of posts. Last poster, Time and Date Stamp.

I'd be interested in any comments.

don't do that wiggy - you'll get a headache and a flat head

I'd like it, I have to say. Mainly because I seem to be really strapped for time at the moment and just being able to scan down and keep up with the lives of people who I've chatted to a lot (e.g. people from the May toddlers thread) without wading through the whole site on the off chance.

I can see how it might be construed as cliquey though, but truth be told - this site is getting bigger. ANYTHING that makes it easier to navigate/use is a bonus in my book.

I don't see what's wrong with only wanting to read things written by posters you find interesting, funny and/or intelligent. Don't see what's so cliquey about that.

Is it like 'squelch' control in CB talk ?
