Hey Tom.  I just had a new idea for the forums section.

What do you think of creating an area called "Threads in which you've replied"?  Also, how about "Threads you've created"?

Also, I think it would be extra-cool to be able to know if there are new comments in the Comments area since my last visit.  So, it would say "Comments (5)", or "5 new comments", instead of "No new comments" where it currently says "Comments", because I keep going to it to see if there are new ones.   My time would be more efficiently spent here if I could just look at the "Me" area and see something like '3 new comments", or "No new commnets", instead of just "Comments".  What do you think?

Ok I'll see what I can do about the forum idea, as for the comments one it's pretty difficult, it takes a lot of server processing power to check if there are more comments (the database isn't really designed for it you see), so if the page loads 20 seconds slower for everyone no one would come on the site!

what about -- just every time you set up a forum --- it would be automatically sent to your own inbox so to speak as well as where ever you posted it!!

then when theres a reply to your topic, that too would turn up in your inbox!!!

actually -- i've just confused myself so that sounds a bit complicated!!

Thanks Actually most of us seem to be computer geek!

The problem with that idea is it creates a lot of emails. Better would be a 'subscribe to this topic' button, and then once every few hours it sends a digest of all the replies in subsacribed topics.

Useful ocasionally, and reduces the amount of email traffic (hopefully ). Mid you, you will be surprised how quickly you get fed up with all the board e-mails you recieve - and then you go back and unsubscribe from them all!

Problem with once an hour is if no one visits the site no emails can be sent!

A Daily update would be ok but the processiong power needed to scan everything and match up names would be terriable.  But it could be a subscribe to process.  Most of us come here daily anyway right?  So what's the point....

You could write some sort of service, triggered by visits - or can't you do that with ASP, I spend so long in the JSP world I loose track!

But Delta is right, once an hour scans would be expensive with loads of updates. Probably every time a thread is updated is the time to e-mail...but most of us visit (though the feature would be useful for the classified section). Selective subscribe would be useful I expect there
