yea, or it could just take you to a page like it does when you split a thread or something.. That would be much easier that all of this mumbo-jumbo IMO.

I don't really think that those checkboxes would be rally needes, you'd usually only half-stick one post.

Again to the Comment issue: I'm afraid it's needed, because many threads use to have bad thread names, and we won't be really able to determine what's interesting in Reply to "Help Me, Please" by CookieRevised".

I'd Personally make only a DB column in this format:
[/code][pid]|[escaped comment][/code]

Eg:

code:

---

"336448|WDZ being happy about himself"

Any suggestions for the text or image?

Blah... that's true, and it's part of the reason why I prune threads that should stay. You win this time... comments will be supported, but I'm going to put a dodgy limit on them like 100 characters so they don't waste too much space in this small font. That's more than enough to say "CookieRevised lists and explains in detail the various types of Messenger blah blah blah" And of course the comments will be optional.

Hmm... one more advantage of comments is that more detail can be on the page, and therefore there are more chances of finding something with Ctrl+F.

Update: Comments are now implemented. However, I've made a complicated mess of the code for the Add Thread page with all my modifications. I think I'll be re-writing it tomorrow. Oh, and now that we have comments, I should probably make a way for them to be edited without deleting and re-adding.

I've thought about some icons like a switched off lighbulb or a thumbtack, but they seem a bit crappy. I'd use a textual link or a checkbox.

Btw, are you gonna avoid people to half-stick several posts in one thread?

There could be several interesting posts in the announcement by of the public beta worth the half-sticking.

Given this case: what would happen when you press the lightbulb? Could you make the digest-page restrictable to fid (and tid)?

Bit more complicated, though, but not too much

ahm... what if you put a link to the interesting post as a small message at the top of the threadspage (like the report-box)?

I'm not making a link until someone tells me exactly what it should look like and where it should be, because I'm not a designer, and I've got nothing right now.

Yeah, and that's pretty much final, I think.

I don't really like the idea. It's not important enough to give it that space and level of attention, IMO. There will be links on important.php, forumdisplay.php, and latest.php which should be enough.

add a lightbulb next to the post that's intresting. and don't make it one-a-thread, you can have multiple lightbulbs

I don't get it, you want the threads to be deleted, I don't, If its a major thread where you've posted say 30 times, then ur post count will be decreased, a lot of people won't want this..
