New Feature

Have you ever looked at a thread and hesitated to go in and read it because you didn't know who had posted in it?

This new feature will allow you to preview who has posted in a thread before you open it. (Sort of)

On Forumdisplay, hover your mouse over the envelope gif. A list of people who posted will show. Please note that this does not work on existing threads. It is only capturing people who post since I finished coding this a few minutes ago.

As I get time, I will integrate it into the search pages as well.

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to turn into a last word thread?

Re New Feature

Hmm.....I need to go check who killed the last one.

My guess is Pippa in the Water Cooler.

The advantage we have, Amy, is that we are both awake still and "they" are all asleep. So we can argue about killing threads all night long (or until I give up )

Re New Feature

Yes, but that would be cheating. You have to be able to kill threads with talent, not technology.

Re New Feature

But wasn't it talent to select the right software that would allow me to use technology to kill a thread?

Re New Feature

Amykhar,

I occasionally try out chat groups from technogology companies--Texas Instruments, Microsoft, etc.--, and they have not yet discovered software equal to your site's.

Re New Feature

Jon, you wouldn't happen to be related to another EA member, would you?

And, yes, EA rawks and so does Amy.

Yes, EA rocks, but why do I need to know the posters? I love being surprised by people... doesn't that kill the opportunity for that?
