Features Request

Thanks for the idea! We'll be rolling out new features to the Forum in 2013

@Ryan, of course you guys got it covered ;)

Figured this might be a good space to house any/all user requests if they were to ever make it to the roadmap. Rather than scattered features requests.

Love it. Thanks for starting this Patrick. :)

Ooh, I'd love a comment voting system. For large communities it helps bring good stuff to the top.

• Mark threads that have unread posts
• Mark threads that you have posted in that have new replies
• For threads that related to a technical issue, the ability to mark threads as "answered"
• Unsubscribe from emails in a thread but keep following the thread
• Chrome extension for threads you are following

• This is by FAR my favorite feature of Facebook, I don't get use email for notifications from Facebook, but the Chrome extension shows me how many notifications I have

James - We noticed the format craziness on your comment, and we're taking a look at the style rules to fix it.

Alan - I'm on Windows 7

I'm seeing the same behavior on:

• Chrome 23
• Firefox 17
• IE 9

I disabled extensions & Incognito/Private browsing doesn't seem to affect the formatting craziness.

One feature I would love is that if I log back into Treehouse, it will take me to where I last left off. A lot of the time I'm hunting for the certain module that I was taking.

James Barnett - We just added the ability to unsubscribe (and to subscribe without commenting) to posts. You'll find the subscribe/unsubscribe link in the main post right next to the author name. :)

How about directly mentioning a lesson or Code Challenge someone is stuck on. No more of what happened on Facebook where it was difficult to describe where you were stuck. PHP Lesson 5 Step 3... etc. Almost like an @mention for a specific part of the library would be helpful.

Keep onnn rolllin Team Treehouse

I think it would be great to have a "Discuss This" button on every page, then you could just click the button and be taken to the relevant discussion. If no discussion exists, it would create a new topic on the forums.

i agree with all the request mentioned above.. plus one more, would love the ability to pin/bookmark/favourite or watch a thread..

Faizal - You can follow a thread pretty well by hitting the subscribe link up in the byline underneath the title. That will cause you to receive an email each time there's a comment on the post.

Jody - Great idea! We've got some ideas that are really similar to that.

Alan - oh okay.. so 'subscribe' is the terms here.. alrite thats cool. works for me.

by the way, how bout a list of "subcribed thread" shown on the sidebar here? it will be useful for those who visit the forum directly to go straight into their threads of choice.

this is for those who didnt enter the forum from the link in the notification email. a simple list should be fine.

I would like to +1 both Keith's and Jody's ideas.

Given that most people are still learning markdown (myself included) a preview button would be cool.

Following on from James' idea about the chrome extension.

If there was an RSS feed of posts that a user is following, and the comments on each post, I can build a chrome extension that monitors the feed and notifies the user of any new activity.

Possibly using desktop notifications as an alternative to email.

Awesome ideas everyone!

How about Treehouse badges for the forums, similar to what they have going on at StackOverflow?

X number of comments. Y number of posts marked as Helpful. etc...

I think this would encourage people to provide helpful posts (Not that this community lacks the need of such)

+1 to @Nir's suggestion about forum badges

When you edit a post, it would be nice to have the markdown cheatsheet right underneath the text field as well.

I posted this on the other feature request thread (would be a good idea to assimilate them), but anyway I think it would be important to separate 'why doesn't my code work'-type threads from discussion-type threads. The Codecademy forum does this and it works well.

There's a 'My Posts' section, is there a participated or view all my comments list? Has this been suggested yet? #lazypost

I know you could use Subscribed but just thought as an additional option.
