they took on zax's first suggestion, mustn't grumble ;)

[zzaxx99] 16/1/2003 17:04

That would all be lovely, but as a minimum, it would be wonderful to just be able to filter out all (say) QXL threads, rather than having to filter anyone who starts a QXL thread....

(And thanks for implementing the "type" filtering by the way. Now, about my royalty....)

Only just caught up with this one and have not read the above posts very well, but if I understand things correctly ...

How's about filtering by "sectors" too?

Eg a button for FTSE 100 companies, 250 companies, (350?), smaller companies, fledglings, all of these (FTSE100 through to fledgling), AIM stocks, investment trusts, oils, insurance, retail, etc.

Rolys,

I am a pain in the backside I know, I will settle for it going on the list though, tx for your time.

[rolys] 16/1/2003 15:30

Had an idea you might say that,

but that would take longer than the simple filtering i suggest as i can implement that in less than 10 mins (the version on my devtree (the place i develop code) at the moment works and took about 20 mins to add, including code so that it remembered your epics between boards etc.. but that is via cookies not a DB)

basically i would have to add what you suggest to my devlist.

Rolys,

Thanks for the response. Ideally I would prefer to be able to filter out certain Epic Codes (you are right this list could (would) be longer, but will enable a user to start with all threads and over time discard ones which they have no interest in). As Immediately one could remove football threads and shares which do not interest. A list simillar to the filtered users one would be ideal. Hope this makes sense.

[rolys] 16/1/2003 14:50

I could filter based on epic,

I could provide you with a edit box at the top where you could do something like this

vod,day

thus the bb would only show you threads with vod and day epics assigned to them.

This would be easy.

However the primiumBB only shows threads that have been active in the last 2 months and the FreeBB only shows active threads for this month.
(an active thread means it has been posted to)

so for example if i filter for vod i get 2 threads on the primiumBB and 4 on the freeBB ..

If this is what you want then i am happy to put it in.

Also if you would rather have epics you exclude then that can be done too.. but i think that list is probably longer than the epics your are actually interested in.

[mrgaribaldi] 16/1/2003 13:43

Yes but that does not really help me to be honest, I would like to filter out threads by Epic or have a BB based on my monitor shares.

Imagine being able to filter out what you are not interested in (90% in my case)

Anyway, only a few people seem to want this anyway and AFN dont seem to want to do it so I guess that is that anyway.

6 Months on and at a time when the boards are being updated any chance of this feature??

[yf23_1] 14/12/2002 04:48

hey moonie
my charts are looking peachy

check the WHY thread guys and do not trust the above.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[yf23_1] 08/11/2002 03:06

tit, you seem to have us confused with sheep with no brain, I think you'll find they're all on the SBT thread.

Moonie, thks for the charts.....the au one should be aun.....

cheers

[mrgaribaldi] 24/9/2002 00:30

2 months on, any news on the possibility of this feature being added at any time in the future? It is my belief it would be of great benefit to users. (but don't let that influence anyone please).

[mrgaribaldi] 23/9/2002 16:19

I guess thats a no then...

[mrgaribaldi] 24/7/2002 00:59

Would it be possible for the filter system to also include epic codes, so that threads which are of no interest can be filtered?

[zzaxx99] 23/7/2002 16:40

Tom,

While we've got your attention, I'd like to resurrect a couple of other related ideas from

It occurs to me that there is a really really easy (somewhat unrelated) enhancement to this, now that you've provided a medium for filtering threads.

Assuming you're using something like select ... from threads where thread.creator not in (list of cretins) to implement this, how about adding the ability to (temporarily) filter by type of thread as well? Click on the coloured box, or the name of a thread type ( = Stock thread   = Non-Stock thread = Development thread   = Journalist thread etc) to add a filter on thread type - would only require an "and thread.type = selectedtype" added to the end of the hypothetical select statement. 5 minutes coding for chaps of your calibre.


and

While I'm on a roll, I have a couple of other suggestions along the same line.

Say, you had a table which contained 3 columns - user_id, thread_id and priority. When you build the thread display, you assign a priority value to the thread if there is a corresponding entry in this user_thread_priority table (thinking on my feet, I think this would equate to an outer join with the new table)

On opening a thread, you have two new links at the start: keep to top (which creates a record in the new table for current user, current thread Id, and a priority of (say) 1), and ignore (which creates a record for current user, current thread Id, and priority of minus large number)

Now, when building the thread display for a user, rather than sorting by last_posting_date, you sort by priority then last_posting_date. The "keep to tops" sort to the top, the "no specified priorities" come next, and the "ignored" threads aren't actually supressed, but are sorted to the end of the list.

This would give you the ability to keep all the threads you were closely monitoring at the top of the page; and the ability to suppress drivel threads.

Two new features, one piece of coding (larger than the "filter by type" idea, but not huge), and one new table, which shouldn't be huge (3 longints x 300K users * 100 entries each would only be 343Mb, and I would suspect the real size would be drastically smaller).

[ashtongray] 23/7/2002 15:46

Just to add my support. Bye bye QXL!

[mrgaribaldi] 23/7/2002 15:43

Thanks Tom, credit to StewJames really, any chance of it being available in the near future?

[tomj] 23/7/2002 15:35

nice idea.
