Could we maybe have a system that tells us when there are new threads there like our flashing e-help cross?

TBH with everything else i do on livewire I forget to go there.

It is nice in theory but not as nice in application it seems.

Maybe the answer is scrapping it.

I'm all for scrapping the serious forum for this reason. I never check there, so I don't know when there's new topics and all that.

If we do keep it, we need notification of new threads there.

I think people will bitch at notifications. Maybe we could have serious topics appear as a different colour, maybe blue, in the fresh topics list?

---

But according to your theme, the font colour in your Fresh Topics list on the side bar will vary.

That's different from having a huge flashing sign like eHelp does. Just have the bubble thing be blue instead of red/green.

---

That's true.  We should add a sign right underneath the eHelp sign.  That way, no one can really miss it.

Hm, I don't know. I just think having it pop up in fresh topics as a different colour would do the job. I don't really want another button on my sidebar.

---

I guess you can do that.  Can't we bold the titles as well?

Or perhaps (and this might be totally unworkable) normal members should be allowed to reply, but posts have to be approved by mods/SLs before they become visible?

Maybe there should be an announcement of how many unloved topics there are in TSF... perhaps in the eHelp section? Just a button saying '2 unloved topics' that leads to TSF...

I think there should also be a little message about TSF on the eHelp page... it says about the forums, but not about TSF.

Now, I LOVE this idea. I really do.

really though, there's nothing wrong with the serious forum. more people just need to reply. that's it.
