Forums » Feature Wishing Well » Read Thread

Right now you can see a member's recent forum posts and recent point gains/losses. I think a nice addition to the site would be the ability to see recent comments by a member. I'd prefer to see ratings as well but I imagine some people might want to keep their ratings private, so maybe this could be optional (the member could tick a "hide ratings?" box on their account page).

Obviously this would not be a high priority feature to work on compared to creating the new-look CYS or combining the classic/advanced editor etc. but I'm just putting it out there. Thoughts?

Edit: I've split the second suggestion into a separate thread.

I think this idea is not bad, but if anyone is really curious, they can just click on the games that the user recently rated and check it out right? Granted, it is troublesome, but if anyone really, for some reason, wants to see the comments, they could do it right?

Yep - it's the equivalent of using the forum search to see someone's recent posts (ie. a really roundabout way of doing things). Providing the user leaves comments on the stories they rate and it still shows in their recent points table, you can see them that way.

Edit: not exactly the equivalent - with the forum search you still see all their recent posts on one page, whereas with your solution for viewing recent comments you have to go to each individual storygame and search through the storygame comments for the user's one, but you get the point.

I really, really like this idea. It's nice visually and could lead to greater story game traffic.
