Right now, when we enter the Links Customization thread, for instance, all the threads are jumbled together, from add.html to Mom's apple pie.
My guess is that it would be a little more helpful if, when we first enter, that we would then have a choice of Search.cgi threads, Newsletter threads, etc., and also maybe "Other" for threads that are not primarily associated with the "Named" threads.
This way, it would be a lot easier for users to find, follow, and participate in threads that are important to them.
For instance, if I'm trying to do a lot with newsletter capabilities, then I could enter Links Customization, then choose Newsletter Mods/Hacks, then get a screenful of related topics that primarily relate to subscribe.cgi.
Yeah, of course everyone always the option to do a search in the current format to round up relevant threads, but I like the idea of being able to go right to a focused group. It's kind of like having a delegated set of specialists in an office.
Maybe allow the writer to designate a thread as a "Newsletter" thread by using a checkbox and give the visitor some kind of option to display only threads that have been checked "Newsletter."
Possible?
Thanks.
