Hi Ted,
me again. Just a couple of small queries.

In the "Top Topics" list, would it be possible to see the category that they are in? Also how do topics become Top in the first place? Was wondering what criteria was used.

... and another thing! Would it be possible for the "What's new" and the Reply count to be consistant. In one it lists number of replies, and the other, the number of posts, including the original. This made me think that I had missed a reply on a subject when infact it was just because it counted the original posting.

OK, while I am on a roll, how about a method to allow users to mark treads "One to watch" so that I can see if I have something happen on once that I am really interested in, regardless of how many other new topics might occur.

Just my 2c worth, please dont delete my login just because I ask too many questions... just arrange for madcop or carzee to come and give me a slap, esp if I ever dare to turn up to a meet with my lil fiat!

Thx,
C

(BTW, yet another thing... if you add a car to your car list, and go back, it does not seem to update too quickly. I wanted to put another comment on one, but it was MIA.)

- One's to watch, i.e. bookmarks is an enhancement I plan to implement.

- Reply count inconsistency, yes I'll sort that.

- Top threads is a secret algorithm based on the rating facility

Not sure about the car facility - the update is instant, so there should be no perceivable delay. I'll have a rummage.

Ted,
on the top topic list, can we have the section that the topic is from. This would help us dumb users (ok, perhaps just me!) when we are reviewing it. Also, how about last post, and number of posts.

Thanks,
Chris

Yeah, and what the weather was like when the first post on that topic was made, and what colour socks the poster was wearing, and.....

And another thing...

Ted,
is there any way to tell how many posts I have made, short of letting CarZee abuse me for being a member without posting enough, or creating another login to check? Could just be a PEBKAC question, but I would be interested.

Thx,
C

You can see this by looking at you profile - just click on your name next to any of your posts or use the link at the top of the screen.

Thanks for that. Infact you can only get to it clicking on your name. The options at the top show different views.

(81 and counting! )

You're right, I'd already had a couple of beers
