Forum improvement (favorite tasks and tagging)

[lucchett]

Hi, I condsider this forum the best documentation source on PI.

I don't know how it is difficult but adding some functionalities to classify the threads would be terrific.

Usually the information is already available but it is very difficult to put together: the result is  huge time spent on reading off topic threads and a possible new thread.

for example, I recently posted a few questions on the forum that for now didn't get any answer.
By chance this morning I found  an old thread where Vicent solved one of my pending questions.


what in my opinion would be important:

-flag favorites threads
-list of standardized tags
-creation of an index (by tool, by scope, by process, depending on the tags)

Tagging could be mandatory for new threads and forum users could eventually take care of old-thread tagging/classification)

Thanks a lot,
Andrea

+1 of being able to flag favorite threads.  When I see one I don't want to lose I often send a comment just so its in my personal inventory but I hate clogging up the traffic just to backdoor a tag.  Others are a great idea but sound like they would require a lot of time to develop.

My method of tagging is I have a separate forum folder in my browsers bookmarks and sub-folders by topic. I then bookmark the topic of interest. Since my bookmarks are sync'd across different devices I always have them with me. What I really wish worked better in the forum was the search function. I have the hardest time with this search function compared to any other. Most of the time I search using Google and the site: feature. That works so much better.
