I thought there was a Hey Matt thread
but I couldn't find it.

Matt, I love the Last Poster's section, it is the best way to keep up when there is a lot going on.

But, if there is more than one page of post on a thread, it takes you to the first page, not the individual post. Anything you can do about that? Thanks! Great campfire you have created.

I used to like the "New Threads" feature. Not that I'm whinning or anything.

Hot Coffee
Do you think you could get coffee delivered too? I like a little sugar and a lot of cream.

Virtual Coffee?
I don't think it will have the same effect.

Since PhotoPoint bit the dust maybe Matt could start a TT photo storage service. We could join for a fee of say $15.00 per year and keep up to say 300 photos. These photos would be BPing related and you could see them by links from either Phil's Photo Page or from the member profile that Matt has already provided. Of course there would be rules related to content(No X-rated but female hot-spring and moon shots allowed.) A person could remove pictures to post new for recent trips. Matt would this be even remotely possible?

Ok, I am seriously thinking about the photopoint knock-off. So what features would everyone want in an online photo album?

how about a thread linkage for each photo so one can leave comments about the particular photo - this feature might however get out of hand considering the winos found around the TT threads (GRIN)

Purple text color.

But cereally, folks...free would be great (but not realistic) so $15/year would be okay by me. Instead of a strict # of images, why not a certain amount of space, say 50 megs?

it would be cool. some type of slide show ability would be nice. if you go here and click on one of the pictures it opens a large view with next/previous arrow at the top. it also has a slide show option. i guess i like the fototime format to make it short. i would happily pay you instead of them for the service.

I thought that it would never happen, but I agree with SH. Shocking, I know. I agree with kleetn that it should be limited on megs, not pics. One question I have is how would this effect Phils Photo Page?

Matt, it would be awesome if you had a photopoint knock off here!!! I gotta agree with Rad, longetivity. I don't know about quantity or meg limitations, but I have....er had about 300 photos in Photopoint. I'd like to be able to store that many and rotate some in and out.... Just some thoughts.

That would be cool - I definately see room for both a photopoint type thing and Phil's photo page.

Solitary has given us another great idea!!

I'M IN- with the photo site-

My wife has a friend who uses a cooking meesage board--their site has a "chat feature" -It is private and does not show on the regular board-It might be good for those who chatter as well as those who want to keep Trail Talk "pure"

But then we wouldn't have anything to use the chatter icon for.

It sounds like there is some demand here.

I don't think it would have a negative effect on Phil's Photo Page. There are/were already lots of links to photo sites. If anything, it would eventually attract more people who are into backpacking.

Another suggestion
I liked it in the good old days when you could tell when a thread was originated at the outset. That way we can tell if someone just got bored and revisited a bunch of old theads.

Matt,

I don't think I have ever thanked you for this site, so ... THANKS!

I do have a request, or suggestion...

I'd like to be able to go to a user's profile, and click on a link that runs a query and shows me their last 20 or so posts. I suspect that wouldn't be too difficult, and I've often wished it was available.

Whatcha think?

Updated List
These are the TT'ers who must be banned in order to purifiy this site:
1. As always, Stevehiker.
2. Kleetn, (deficient in the haiku category).
3. Nigal, (I've heard that he sux)
4. Violin, (can't take any more entertaining html works. Must make site more boring.)
5. Arclite, (instead of reading Playboy, he fantisizes about Ayn Rand.)
6. Lizs, (she's from Iowa, what else need I say?)
7. Bigfoot, (leaves messy prints on all of the threads)
8. Phil, (some people are just too nice.)

OK, Matt, now get to it!

I liked when you went to a thread and found that only 4 of 15 posts would show and you could click on the days option to get ALL posts to show.

But, Matt has recently changed that.

Matt, here's another suggestion....since that's what this thread is supposed to be for. ;-)

Could you give an option for a "printer-friendly" retrieval? Less whitespace, utilize more width, take off the "recent posters" list....

Just a thought. Not too many threads I'd want to print, but every once in a while there's a good one.

Regards,

Fritz
