Wow, I like the 'similar threads' bar- it's great to see the older threads, and add to them. Sometimes good ideas just get forgotten about
:yep:
Nice work :) !

...how does it work? i guess its a search thing, but can we cross link threads ourselves?

It looks for threads with similar titles on the same forum. Could be changed to be more accurate but it would need some pre-processing because it would be too slow to search the whole database every time a thread is displayed. :eek:

Thought it would work that way X but maybe change to title to Possible Similair Threads or something.

:) It also no doubt made spark's life easier for a little spamming as in the recent threads Isadora. ;):) j/k

nah, i'm not that clever. i did a search first, and of course all the main isadora threads are old by now so were well down the list. i'd cheekily use the term spam too, but its not - anything but random, its targeted. better than starting a new thread?
