Was asked today by one of my users if there was a way for them to decide which categories and/or forums they could view so they didn't have to "scroll all the way down the page".
Well of course I said no, but now I'm thinking about it and is that such a bad idea?
To give the user an option, say in their profile, as to which categories they see when they come to the board, or even what forums?
Let's use UBBDev as an example, since I spend most of my time lurking in the newer version boards, (currently V6.3), I never look in the V5 modifications forum...
Also, I've no interest in looking at the International support forums so I just scroll by them. Doesn't bother me, but what if the board allowed me to just show the categories (or forums) that I usually haunt?
Would that be cool or what? For example I'd come to UBBDev and I could just see V6.3 Mods, Announcements, Design and Graphics Forums, and that'd would be it!
Anyone else think this is a good idea? I'm totally a novice with Perl, but I am pumped up enough by this idea that I think I'd be willing to buy the camel and get serious.
That is unless someone else out there has a hack like this or is working on one?
Just curious folks. Would like to see what others think about my hair brained idea.
