Steam forums do it along with many other forum sites. I like it.

Not sure how this would be programed into the site, but this sounds pretty spiffy.
Maybe we can get a spam filter too

For all I know its only a vBulletin feature. That being said, I see the feature everywhere, so if its not exclusive I see it being as simple as downloading a forum addon.

Heh, this forum is pretty hacked to peices right now.

What I really want to do it change the way the forum works entirely.

Basically, I want to combine the forum page that lists all the threads out with the area that has all the posts on it. So when you are reading posts in the General Section, there is a list on the left that shows all the other topics. From there you can jump directly to another topic without going back to the list page.

That would help things a lot.

Adding this feature should be possible without too much trouble. I'll look into it.

that's a good idea captain.

right now i just go through all the main boards and open new tabs (MOUSE3) for each thread i want to look at.
then go through the threads after that.
