Thread Name: Starting New Threads: Reinventing the Wheel
Subject: RE: Starting New Threads: Reinventing the Wheel
Foolestroupe and John - There is already a provision for categories and subcategories for threads. Trouble is, some of my subcategories have gotten too big, and need to be promoted to "category" status. This requires time, and a good Internet connection, neither of which I currently have. But I'll get to it.
Max has suggested that the crosslinks be in a dropdown menu, so the top of a thread doesn't get filled with crosslinks. What I'd like is a way of prioritizing crosslinks, so the five most interesting threads in a group could be flagged to appear in the crosslinks, with the rest in a dropdown menu. Jeff and I are conferring on this.
Mudcatters are welcome to submit lists of thread numbers to me for crosslinking - the list should be thread numbers only, separated by commas.
In accord with John's idea, I've often thought it might be nice to have a utility that would allow a Mudcatter to post a list of threads/links within a message - like if there were an easy way to post lists like what I've done in the Malvina indexing. I'd like ot do the same with our other songbook indexes.
