Yes but how do you show that a particular post has a high rating? Suppose somewhere in the thread someone makes a particularly insightful post or a post that delivers a decisive point about a hotly debated topic. How do we give that post the recognition it deserves and show our appreciation for that particular post?
A couple of related comments. I access the forums using a bookmark to www.waterlooregionconnected.com/search.php?action=getnew. This displays a list of threads that have new posts since my last visit to the forum. Then I click the green arrow on each to open new tabs that go directly to the first unread (by me) new post in each thread.
1. Unless a thread is new I never see the top of a thread and thus never see its rating. Would it be possible to add the thread rating to the Thread / Author field in Search Results?
2. With several tabs open to new posts it quickly becomes difficult to know which thread I'm looking at. I have to scroll all the way up to the top of the thread to see its title. Would it be possible to also put the thread title in the Quick Reply line, i.e. "Quick Reply to Other Forum Issues"?
I realize my use of the forum may be quirky so don't go to a lot of trouble to explore these suggestions, unless of course others would also find them useful. Thanks.
