'Similar Discussion Threads' box moved
Hi Marc, I guess you just moved the 'Similar Discussion Threads' box to the top of each page isn't it. I prefer this arrangement for it allow users to have a view and/or take further actions before asking more questions.
What are the views of the others??

Re: Reported Post by harry - 'Similar Discussion Threads' box moved.
I thought I'd try it out. You can collapse it and it will stay collapsed in all threads as far as I can tell. I thought this might help some newer people, while 'regulars' can collapse it so it's not in their way, so to speak.
I moved this to the public forum because I'm open to feedback from everyone on the change.
I saw another forum where they did the same thing (not an original idea) and sorta liked it.
Your opinions?

Re: Reported Post by harry - 'Similar Discussion Threads' box moved.
Something is wrong. It's not showing to visitors at all.
Hang on - Doing some testing...

I like it. Looks like it is certainly worth a try.

Re: Reported Post by harry - 'Similar Discussion Threads' box moved.
How about the many posts that recommend to "scroll down the page" for "links on this topic/subject?"
Could this be confusing? Honestly, I liked the way it was.....

Re: Reported Post by harry - 'Similar Discussion Threads' box moved.
OK - Now, if anyone wants to help 'test', collapse the Similar Threads table and see if it shows on any threads after you do that. It *should* stay collapsed *unless* you are rejecting cookies.

Still testing. I'm playing with a php file. It's not working in Cmino, so for a bit here you may see the box or I may be back to the standard script while I test.
Please note, folks, this is the same 'Similar Threads' box that typically shows at the bottom of every thread page.

Re: Reported Post by harry - 'Similar Discussion Threads' box moved.
This is weird. I never noticed this before, but it appears the 'Similar Threads' list only appears to people who are logged in. I can't figure out why it doesn't show for visitors.
Well, this is just a thought. Your opinions are still sought. I'll probably be going to be pretty soon but will look at it again in the morning.
