Requested Change for the 'Latest Comments' list for Articles & Blogs

I'll think about how to do this.

You can subscribe via e-mail to discussions that you are participating in by checking the box above the Add Comment button when you reply. You can subscribe via feed by clicking on the feed button at the top of the list of comments.

A list by active article/blog rather than by individual comment is possible. I am just considering a range of options, including, as you suggested, the possibility of a page like the "Disscussion" view of the forum for the comments.

I do appreciate suggestions like this, as I don't know how people use and navigate the site unless they tell me.

So far I have heard from people who say:

1. I only stop by once a week and just want to see a list of article titles in chronological order, therefore I added the aticle, blog and recommendation modules on the front page.

2. I like to read in a blog format that I can browse in chronological order, thus the Article and Blog page lay out.

3. I like to browse by topic, thus the topic list on the Article page and the Tag Cloud on the blog page.

4. I want an alphabetical list by topic and title, thus the Table of Contents.

5. I want a list of articles by author - still working on that one.

The site is evolving.

Also, in related news. The forum software that we use is finally realeasing a new version that fixes a bunch of bugs that people have been complaining about, like the BBC tags not working. It adds some cool new functions, one of which is a page like the "Discussion" view, which only lists the threads that you are participating in. I thought that was very spiffy. Finally it runs much faster and chews up a whole bunch less CPU time. I've been test driving the beta and it looks like it is going to be awesome. So look for a big upgrade to Trash Talk hopefully within the month.

With many message board when you click 'new' it takes you to the one past the last post you read (ie the first new post in that thread for you). Is it possible to put that feature in these boards?

Only if I hack the app, which I don't want to touch in this case. The code for the "New" indicator is already pretty disfunctional.
