My dream mod: Manually Selected Similar Threads
 

Hi..

This is one of my dream mod, which I wanted to make, but I could not make it.

It's a kind of Extra Thread Fields mod which are exclusively to add Similar Threads manually (from the users previous threads) added by the users or moderators, to appear after the first post.

The user should able to select from his previous threads through browsing, or copy paste the links in the fields. If possible an additional Description field against each links.

The total number of links to appear below the thread are decided like the standard vb Poll system. If the number of links are more than 4 or 5, it's better to make it scrollable.

This will be very useful to link with the previous topic of similar subject or story.

It's my long time dream of such mod, No body made so far near to this one. I don't this it is tough one. I wish to see one soon, as this will be useful to many people.

Practically this is what tags do. Implemented in vb 3.7!

Hi.. Alfa1, thanks for your reply.

Tags are just keywords, they will bring threads that matches to that keywords. But what my "dream mod" does is that, it will link with its previous parts of the Story/News.

This is purely to link the previous part of stories posted in the forum by a specific user.

You can use keyphrases as well. And if a keyphrase accurately describes what the thread is about, this will render much better results than similar threads.

not a bad idea @ alfa1
What would have been nice is have similar thread ONLY to section that you want

There is one now show the current one, by nfn:
