cheresources Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Wouldn't it be nice to include a user's list of forum posts to the "My Media" button for easy reference to questions that they've answered before? Seems like a natural fit for the purpose of the "My Media" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 That would seem unwieldly on larger sites to me. I have thousands of posts - flipping through all of them 20 at a time would be pointless to me, as I'd never find what I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lithium forum software had this. Basically users could save about 5-10 blocks if text and they could use a dropdown to quickly retrieve it and repost. For example people would use it to post informational welcome messages for new users or store the coding for their favorite font style. Others used it to post reaction images. It's a very convenient system for the end user and I'd like to think very easy to incorporate within the my media function if it's expandable(is it?)

cheresources Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yes, even if you could search for your own topics from within the "My Media" button while composing a new topic....that would indeed be nice. Versus, new tab or browser window...go find my post I want to reference, grab the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 A type-ahead? For forum posts? I'm assuming you have no idea how much that would cripple a site with 10 million posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
