With about a million topics arising at various SMF forums every day, not everyone likes to go back to the topics they have posted, everytime it gets updated. Once their job to look into it is done, they no longer wish to see it in their "Show new replies to your posts" or "Show new replies to your posts".
It becomes really annoying to look into a topic something related to reviews, suggestion or support topic again and again whenever it gets bumped after your own issue is sorted and the input is added.
Take an example of the modifications support topics in SMF. We keep on getting the links in our "Show new replies to your posts" and "Show new replies to your posts" every time a new user posts in. After we get our solution, we no longer are interested in what actually goes in there.
What I would like is any of these functionality that can do the job:
- Ignore the topic so its not seen until removed from the ignore list (maybe set in the profile)
- Mark the topic as read all the time automatically. (This might be something that would be permanent, as I don't have a clue to how to undo it)
- Unsubscribe link in every topic. (Have a subscribe link to get the links back in the unread replies/threads if needed by the user)
Is there anything as such in development? A modification that can be brought out by SMF or someone else? Maybe add it as a feature for SMF 2.1 ?
More Ideas are welcomed, I might modify the topic on timely basis so we can look into how much better can this feature get.
Edit: Fixed typos. Lots of mistakes in writing the content. I should have not written this topics when I was sleepy
