If you look real close, you'll note that you can now click a link at the bottom of each topic (under the "watch this topic" link) where you can add a topic to your "favorites" list. In addition, there's a link at the top of the page to view your favorite topics.

Just a little gift from me to you.

That's a really useful feature!

Have you ever thought about adding a karma or 'ding' system for tracking poster reputation?

Poster reputation?

You mean like "according to the votes to date, this persons posts [are/are not] really worth reading"?

What a god-awful idea.

But yeah, I love the favourites thing.

Brian.

Not exactly. Its akin to the crap-filter on slashdot or systems that self-policing communities with light-handed or uninvolved moderators use.

The "poster reputation" idea has worked really well for some other sites. It's not something we're going to implement here, for several boring reasons and one non-boring: Ron and I like the idea of a level playing field, where someone can show up one day, and if he's got good ideas and is committed, can get a lot of response.
