Suggestion for links to threads on next page.

[~Wingnut~]

Hello there Mrs Ab Ed :o)

This idea came to me whilst laying wide awake at 4am today, so forgive me if you think it is pants.

I was thinking, with people being concerned that chatty threads are pushing other threads off the front page that maybe, at the bottom of the list that there are also links to the next 20 questions without a preview of the actual question and date etc.., that way people can see where a question has got to without having to trawel thru a lot of threads to find it.

Example: bottom of page.....
Cheerio
Well its time for me to flee the nest.. some of you may or may not know Im in Australia backpacking at the moment and I'm heading to Thailand on Friday so I wont be playing in AB anymore.......[more]

What advert is tasty tasty very very tasty?
Why have I no hair on my knuckles?
How far will Big Bro go this year?
Who here hates scrambled egg?

.......etc.. I think you get the jist

Hope you don't mind me using you as an example spk?

Hmmm parts of that are supposed to be red!! Took me ages as well :o(

[~Wingnut~]

Meant to say as well that it doesn't neccessarily (sp?) have to be for the last 20 questions either, maybe just 5 or 10.

That sounds like a jolly good idea to me!

'Necessarily' = 1 collar, 2 socks.

Cheers Purpose :o)

That's a good way of remembering how to spell it, thank you!

I think you can actually develop that idea further wingnut, I know there is a list posted to the right in each catagory telling us what are the mst popular threads, but if each catagory front page was edited with just the list of titles we could see more on the page at a time, the poster of the Q doesn't need to be listed til you click to open that question.

[~Wingnut~]

That's a good idea Dot!!!

Reckon we should be asking for a cut ;o)

[dot.hawkes]

well now we have AB+ up and running we could possibly have that option too, I would swap my music downloads for it, or even the movies.

I think thats a cracking idea ~wingnut~! Hope the ED takes a look and has a serious think about this one! Well done!

[~Wingnut~]

Just had another thought... the links don't necessarily (hee hee look I remembered purpose!) have to be at the bottom, there seems to be an awful lot of white space on the left handside here
<------------------------- could put the links there maybe?

Toodles :o)
