Tell me more about these! What would you want to see there?

• Pinned and/or private threading (help me make my Starter Marriage flow easier to read lol)

Pinned meaning, individual posts can be pinned to the top of a thread (so my flow posts would all be at the top). As an alternative, private meaning I could start a thread that only I could comment on (for the same need).

• THREAD MUTING

Sorry Daphne, I am just not an SJI person and boy does that topic get a lot of discussion. Being able to mute a thread (so I do not get any notifications that there is a new post) would be lovely.

• Direct replies to individual posts

In the current Forum, I can "Reply" to a thread, but not a specific post. Obviously I can quote, but it doesn't have a link back to the post that it's replying to (which could be from a ways down the thread). Most modern discussion platforms will do that. Plus, it would notify the OP that there is a direct reply to what they said.

The only reason you should be getting a notification that there's a new post is if you subscribed to it. Or are you referring to the "New" indicator?

But it does. If you leave the link= in the quote tag, it links back to the post that you are quoting. Or do you mean something else?

Agreed, though, that it's not full threading where each post points back to the post being replied to. On the other hand, often posts are replies to more than one post, and the quote tag does handle that situation.

Yes, the "New" indicator.

That's assuming you quote, though, which not everyone does / wants to do. I often just want to reply, not quote!

Sometimes it's hard to find the thread you were just writing in. Such as... this one!
