When the grace period passes, would not mine seeing the "similar threads" section go away.
Agreed. Just takes up space and seems arbitrary.
I agree it's silly in this forum, but I can see why it might be useful in the Shark Pool.
Yes, it's super useful in the Shark Pool forum. And let's be honest, without that forum, this forum couldn't afford to exist. Some of it's preventative in it's sometimes better to not have multiple threads if it's truly on the same topic. And that can help there. But it's also informative from a "cross pollination" angle in allow forum visitors to see other threads that may interest them. I think it's one of the best parts of the new upgrade and we'll be keeping it. But it might be possible in the future for users to hide it. Not sure. I know
@Keerock is familiar with Xenforo documentation, maybe we can see something there and save
@Memphis Foundry some work.
Thanks for the explanation. It does make sense.
Thank you
@Mrs. Rannous I'm interested in how good the AI will be on it. For instance, will it learn that the same folks that like a music draft also might like a food draft? Or will it learn that a thread talking about Star Wars might also be similar to a thread about other Science Fiction? I don't really know. But I hope it can be useful.
Sorry if there's another thread about this, but agree the changes so far have been great and can see why you and others are happy about the move. Everything does seem to work better.
Again, not sure if there's a spot where this is already being covered and I also know there's a lot of other priorities right now, but as far as requests/changes, which are pretty minimal, here's mine (and maybe these are options that are already available, but)
1) As you mentioned above, the ability to hide the similar thread. Not a big deal overall, though
2) Adding the page navigation at the top of threads. That's probably the biggest one for me now.
3) Adding who posted last in each thread when looking at the list of threads on the forum page.
4) Enabling push notifications. There are a couple threads I follow and I'd get a notification if someone posted in one. I can't see if that's available anymore but if it is, can't find it.
Considering the move, huge success that that request list is as small and minor as it is. Great work to all involved in getting this done.
