I am making this suggestion again. Perhaps a squeeking wheel will get greased. We NEED a feature that allows us to AUTOMATICALLY bold, highlight, italicize, color, or otherwise mark the message author or message posted by certain individuals that are important to us. For example, there is a must read message from Larry Wineberg (sp?) of CL in the Poser forum. Every Poser user and potential user should read that message. Unfortunately it can be easily lost among the flotsam that surrounds it. If this place was a newspaper that message would have a large headline and be above the fold.

He didn't exactly help by burying his message in a discussion on The Tailor and MIMIC thread....I would have never found it if you hadn't mentioned it was there. I don't think highlighting would have helped because that wasn't a thread that interested me in the normal course of things (I have neither Tailor nor Mimic), but I thank you for bringing it out. I wish he would have posted it as a separate message...but I don't think that's the fault of how the forums are set up but a personally decision on Mr. Weinberg's part. It's message #79, by the way.

here's a thought. If highlighting and bold and italic are functional in the forum thread names in the forums, everyone will use it, or at least a good deal will, in order to make their thread stand out more, and thus, making none of the threads stand out cuz EVERYONE will constantly be using them. "If this place was a newspaper that message would have a large headline and be above the fold." but it isn't a newspaper, now is it?

Lol, you're right. Everyone will use it. Maybe give those privledges JUST to the CL people, lol.

It would be best it every member could select the users who would be highlighted for him. Everyone has differend friends or is interested in different people.

Mad, That was what I was referring to. Readers could mark those names important to them. By the way, more interesting reading from Dan Farr and Larry W in the Poser forum. If you missed it do a search on them to find it. ;^) Slynky, Sorry you missed my point. I'll try not to be so obtuse in the future ;^)

Hehe, I got your point, I was refering to Slynky and AgentSmith. ;)

I get it now, interesting idea. I like it. I can make all of yuri's stuff in BOLD so I would know were to directly go to delete and ban more effeciently... (just kiddin' Yuri ;o Neat/cool idea, though. AgentSmith

I'll look into it and see what we can do. In the meantime you can always use the "Search" link on the sidebar to search through forum posts by username. Thanks. Tommy
