I had an idea that came to me in the night that I figured I’d throw out into the ether on the off chance others agree. This would be new functionality that’d need to be developed, but I believe it would benefit the site and end-users by better organizing threads and reducing the need to use the search bar when looking for related topics.



1) Allow users (note that “users” could be restricted by profile/defined set of privileges) to relate/link one thread to other threads on the site.​


This would create a href link somewhere within the thread, under a clearly defined “Related Threads” section, that could be clicked to quickly navigate to that linked thread.



2) Allow users (note that user privileges, could again be restricted based on an agreed upon set of rules) to create child threads under whatever “parent” thread they’re on.​


Once the child thread is created and linked to the parent, a href link would be displayed somewhere on the parent thread, under a clearly defined section, “Child Threads”.

Example: Vendor “A” has started selling new Mag “X”. The mag is brand new to the scene with little to no user reports on things like dose, tolerance, ROA, etc.. instead of having the vendor’s main thread inundated with users asking Q&A questions about the mag,
Admin decides to create a child thread under the main thread titled “User Discussion - Mag ‘X’ Q&A”. This would help keep discussions organized amongst threads, leaving vendor threads for reviews, and child threads for more specific complaints/product Q&A.



Anyways, that’s my 2cents for the year. Thank you all for coming to my Ted Talk 🙂. Stay safe, and remember to be grateful to those around you!

I was very confused on the idea of Child Threads until your explanation, but IMO it’s a great idea if somebody is willing to do it. I get posts deleted often for not being reviews that, at least I think, are useful/helpful answers or input. I’m not complaining about that fact, at this point I know better but sometimes just don’t think when I see a question/somebody respond to me specifically and go off on a tangent that may or may not derail/be off topic. Having a user discussion link in the first/second post where we can discuss or (within reason) complain about things is absolutely a solid idea.
 
Yep I love this idea. It would help new users (like me lol) navigate the site and educate ourselves much easier. It took me a minute to figure out what I'm even doing here and sometimes threads with a ton of pages are overwhelming when there's only one thing I'm searching for within a thread. This would make things much more efficient and organized.

  9. crimp @ crimp: glad youre good buddy
  10. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  13. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  14. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches
  15. crimp @ crimp: need some help dude im so injured its not even funny dm me for details just need someone willing to help me fust for a week
  16. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  17. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  18. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  19. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  20. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
