Some of the discussions get bloated REAL quick and then they seem to develope a life of their own.

After a while, it is hard to follow discussions as people will come in and post to something from a month earlier and that is 20 pages of postings higher.

If there was an option to look at just the postings from the last few days, last week, last month or whatever it would be so much easier to find and respond to these new posts.

What do you think?

And for tags, how about being able to pull up a list of existing tags for consistancy of like topics?

into a tree object that's collapsable. You could see the next level of replies and follow and have the option of leaving open and closing the threads you want

I think it is a good idea. In some cases the bloat is so big that it takes a month of Saturdays to get 1/4 through it. But I remiss, when it gets to thick or off topic, I start a new thread.

Then the discussions that are there that I am watching disappears into the mist, never to be seen again.

I was just thinking about that too. Here is another one. On our "My Discussions" page (and the other pages) it would be nice if you could remove a thread you know longer wanted to follow - even if it is one you posted to. I have a couple that I don't care about, but others I wanted to keep an eye on. Sure I could subscribe to them, but that isn't the same as removing ones I am no longer interested in.

Just a thought.

if you read one post, would be much better if it centered the scrolling tree of posts on whatever post you were on rather than showing just the first post at the top. then in long discussions you would know exactly what you were and could skip previously read posts.
