	Suggestion: Watched Threads Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Often it is hard to find the threads one is looking for in Apolyton. Is it possible to add a feature called "Watched Threads?" What this does is it allows a member to mark certain number (5? 10?) of threads as watched, and these will stay on top of the list (or maybe in a separate list).

That would be a little awkward I think... wouldn't it be easier to bookmark the threads using your browser?

I guess I could do that, but I have too many bookmarks already.

Yeah, or a thing to where you can recieve email notification when someone replies to a thread you start. Although I suppose there could be a problem with overrunning your inbox, unless we had special Apolyton inboxes?

I agree with Empress, screw GameStats, we should all receive our own e-mails and overload their server

I agree with Mao, that would cause their email server to crash. You cant do this on such a huge forum like Apolyton.

I once asked for an auto-add-to-favourites feature but well, some guys are working on this I think.

Nevertheless, I dont look much into my favourites. I have only about 3 to 4 sites which I visit regularly. No need to bookmark them.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Might be hard, but would be well worth it.

If you wanted to do something even harder (which you probably don't) then you could have each user have his or her own 'homepage'. Any threads that had been marked as such would be linked on the 'homepage'. You could also mark threads to only be shown if they had been updated.

Ok, that last idea is imposable, but wouldn't it be great? Ahh...

It's not impossible, if the big portals all have personal homepages that users can personalize.

It'll be a big job, however.

I think this would be very cool, but way too much work.
If it is possible I would be all for it.

I know that it is possible,

I just mean that I think that the Admin's will regard it as impossible...

Guys:

Bookmarking your favourite threads should be sufficient for this purpose.

In addition, if you're threads are being actively posted in, you can always change your settings to show only topics up to and including the past 24hrs.

Hello!
To Urban Ranger: I'm using InternetExplorer 5.0 and I can arrange my bookmarks in directories/folders. Could this be useful for you having too many bookmarks?

Bummer!

The problem with this if I use bookmarks, I can't tell if there are any new entries until I actually access the thread(s).

On the other hand, if I set my preferences, then I have to remember the titles of these threads. It could be hard

Dirk,

That's not the problem. The problem is I have too many bookmarks and I don't want to put everything on the top level. I don't want to have too many levels of directories either, since it makes looking for bookmarks difficult.
