Busyness of CiviCRM forum is good ... and bad

Folks,

Every time I visit the 'unread posts' page on this forum there are pages of new issues.

This is fantastic! It shows the community is active and vibrant, and that's good for all of us.

But ... it makes it hard to see what people are discussing in 'my areas of interest' (now that's a hard thing to define, but important).

I'm just thinking about how the current interface might be improved so I can find 'interesting' conversations easily. I could visit each board individually, of course.

Is it possible to provide an option 'Show unread posts summarised by board' which returns a list of boards, with unread posts shown by count and by (say) Top 10 (where 'top' might be most recent, most read, or most replies)?

Ken

(I understand the forum is served by a product, which might not be readily changeable. Anyway, it would be good to discuss how to make the communication on the forum even better than it is.)

your best bet might be to check the SMF (simple machine) forums and see if there is a solution that meets your needs. we can install additional modules for SMF if needed
