Forum Improvement Idea
Proposal:
1. The proposal is simply to introduce a sorting function to the guild forum (s).
1.1. This could be for the admins to decide for specific posts OR
1.2. Each player can decide for themselves what order they prefer.
- Thus, the newest replies to a thread shows up first or last, depending on what the forum admins (or each player) decide is the most useful way for that specific post.
- The original post could come up first though, and then the last reply underneath that.
Have you checked the forums for the same or similar idea:
Yes, nothing particular found for this specific sorting idea.
Reason:
- In our guild we have a 'trades' post, where there are more than one page. Being able to see the original post, and then seeing the last replies show up first, would help out a lot because the forum post pages are not always easy to spot for new members, and they might end up replying to an old post.
- It is also better if the admins can choose specific posts, as the normal sorting works for most posts, except threads like trades (or similar with a lot of activity).
Alternatively:
- Each person can choose their preferred method of sorting.
Details:
- Adding a sorting function (Ascending / Descending) to the guild forums, that lets admins (or each player) choose specific posts where the last replies show up first (below the original post).
Visual Aids:
Two buttons:
Sort by: Asc | Desc
How a thread would look like:
1. Original post (I need.../I offer....)
------------------------------------------------
2. Reply #3 (I also need the same....)
3. Reply #2 (I have the last 20....)
4. Reply #1 (I can offer you 20....)
Thus, the newest reply is always the one just underneath the OP.
Balance/Abuse Prevention:
Does not change the game and don't see how this can be abused in any way.
