Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Forums Dynamic Threading UI Demo

Yippie! Can you upload this new forum somewhere, I (and most of my clients) like it very much, especially as you can switch back any time you want to a different view.

Now some enhancement suggestions:

- Views. Add the number of views to each posting.
- Color Code the red arrow. The more reddish it is, the more content is hidden beneath it.
- Allow Color Coding to change. E.g. have it display the number of views in green (the greener the more often the thread has been viewed).
- Add sticky postings (postings that will always come first).
- Add favourites (one link click) which will add this thread to your favourites (for faster access at a later stage).
- Show the number of postings by a user right next to the user to display how active he is. Maybe even add categories for this (e.g. 0-5 postings = newbie, 100-200 postings=experienced, >500 postings: don baccus 😊).
- Allow for override of the list.css and especially the color coding within a thread.
- Highlight search terms within the thread (like Google cache).

Obviously Rating and Linking would come in handy, but this is 5.2 stuff anyway (and done in there...).
