Enhancements of Flyertalk!
Randy,
I just got the TalkMail e-mail and just wanted to say thanks for FT & I'm looking forward to the new enhancements (and these are great enhancements, unlike the CO enhancements!)
Thanks!

Randy, having completed the survey, the one comment that I had was that the links to the various boards such as FT Miles, FT Travel, etc. should be more prominent no matter which of the three displays is picked.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">We are currently in the process of testing the new technology and are at the same time working on a redesign of the site. In fact, about 100 members, consisting of the moderators and several who are relatively new to the site, are currently reviewing several redesign schemes and providing us with invaluable feedback. Some of the features of the new design that we hope you will enjoy include:
When the move to the new technology is completed (and please don't hold your breath just yet as we are still in the middle of development -- he cowardly stammers as the guys from IT menacingly advance towards his desk), more than 2.5 million posts will be easily searchable! That's what we call a wealth of knowledge.</font>
- A MyFlyerTalk section where you can view forums and threads that you've selected all from one page.
- A reorganization of the forums to include everything in one board, which means you'll be able to search the entire board at once, including the archives (technically, there won't be anymore "Archives," as they will just be reintegrated as active topics).
- Private messaging between members.

Any chance for the "ignore poster" feature?

If the Archives are to be re-integrated, I would urge Randy to put a time limit on bumping old threads.
Have a dust covered year old topic bumped to the top is extremely annoying.

I look forward that (some) evergreens from the archive can be 'rejuvenated' again - if the search function will be more effectiv, it probably would solve/answer some/many repeated 'themes/questions'.

The only sad thing is that I expect my bookmarks to specific threads will no longer work

Am I the only one in the "If it ain't broke..." camp? I mean, I LIKE FT the way it is. Why do things always have to change? For example, this horseless carriage thing...... is up with that?
But seriously?

Is this confirmed? Quite a downside if this occurs.
