Links To Posts

Many posts on the message boards link to other posts. It would be interesting if a post displayed the number of links there were to it. The statistic would be a hyperlink to a list of all the posts that link to this one.

Maybe the number of links to any of a users posts could be displayed in their profile.

Re: Links To Posts

I see value in that idea in that the linked threads are answers and the threads linking to them are the questions.

 

Jeopardy anyone?

Congratulations that is our Daily Double, I hope you have a double layer of duct tape applied....

To be honest, I don't see much use in this feature. I think we need to have less features in the forum. Every time Lithium decides to add a "feature" they end up breaking 10 others.

I agree that Lithium's house of cards is rather fragile.

 

IF

 

Lithium could make a change without breaking things

 

THEN

 

Features would be welcome

 

ELSE

 

Fix what is already broken.

Hey, I posted from my phone. I didn't know that those two characters would be translated into a graphical smiley!
