Random thoughts and rants...
Published on April 23, 2009 By Neilo In Forum Issues

Bara, i know you busy and all, but since you have been tweaking the forums of late i thought I'd throw out the suggestion of a "Unsubscribe from Thread" feature.

I know there are plenty of folks who after making a reply in a topic, then see that topic listed in their my replies long after their interest has faded on that topic.

This would be most helpful for in the OT forums where topics can digress from the OP quite easily, making further contributions non existent.  But i see a use for it across the board. I know i must not be the only one that has made an errant post here and there, and then still has to see that particular thread in "My Replies".

Thoughts? Is it doable? Furthermore, do others see the potential?

Cheers mate.

I made a mockup to illustrate my idea. Selecting and deselecting a thread as hidden can be done by simply clicking on the button. When you set a thread to hidden, it won't appear the next time you reload the "Posts I've Replied To" page.

This would allow me to easily see the hidden threads if I should choose to. And I'd be able to hide "low prio" threads, just to not have to see them every time I check the posts I've replied to (like the game threads, which are fun, and I like to participate in them at times, but I don't always want to see them)

Call it what you want... i'd have to agree with mickeko's simplicity that makes such a Forum controlling feature useful enough. Hide icons -- it certainly could be.

I have a more interesting system in mind   I think you guys will like it when I eventually develop it.  Thanks for the screenshot mickeko.
