But, I'll suggest this anyway.
The following screenshot comes from a forum I was very active in for most of last year. You can find the full forum at www.elementsforum.co.cc, and it is related to the online card game at www.elementsthegame.com. Now, I am not advertising their game at all - but for those interested it, it is similar to Magic the Gathering except has very seemless gameplay, with very little stop & start mechanics. I do not play there any more, but was extremely active. The game creator did not have the foresight to take my suggestions seriously, and as I see it, the game is now suffering.
All of that aside, here is the screenshot and the feature I REALLY want implemented on here:
The main thing, is the second link beneath your name. "Show new replies to your posts".
If I posted in a topic, or created a thread, the forum will remember this (obviously), but whenever someone replies to that thread or adds to that topic, the link to that thread will be stored in this page. This makes it really nice for continuing debates and generating discussions, as all the posts you are active in can be easily viewed at a glance and will show up on this page if there are new developments within them...
Within this page, you have the option of 'unwatching' a thread. So basically, if you were to reply to a Thread in which a newbie is asking 'how do I create a custom unit', and you do not particularly care for the rest of the discussion once you have answered - you can uncheck this Thread. And if new posts are made in it, after yours, the thread will not display any more.
I hope this is making sense... Alternatives would be a 'Subscribe' to a certain thread, and a page which shows all your Subscribed threads. Another way of doing this would be to 'Watch' a certain thread, and new topics which are made in this thread will then display on a seperate page.
I don't know if this is possible in SEN, or if something like this already exists and I am just ignorant.
Your thoughts?

None.
