Hi Marco, is the mobile version you're seeing there the same as using this link here ? :

http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&noframes


If you like you can use that link above (it just has &noframes added to the address), and that will show only a one page topics list here rather than the regular split view.

Okay, this thread is about the forum. But for me trusting GitHub doesn't sound too unwise and having MoI3D load a repository and unzip it to the script form sounds like some full feature thing to me. (Considering that now people are searching the internet to find code snippets to get simple things like pan and nudge.)

But, well, I guess you already have a roadmap for V4 and don't need someone to explain time management to you...

Everything considered, I am reasonably happy with the flatness of the the current forum's structure.

There are two or three features I would definitely use if they were implemented:

- Giving kudos to a post: means a discussion needn't become bloated with 'thank you' messages - nice, and welcome as they are. For example, I like to give thanks for a useful post, but equally understand that I might be causing someone frustration when they open discussions with apparent new posts, only to find 'just another thank you note'.

- Favouriting a discussion: would make re-finding those discussions that much easier, without resorting to bookmarking. BTW, what do other people currently do in this respect?

The third isn't so much a forum feature request but general suggestion: that valuable discussions, (such as Max's scripts) are edited and added to the Resource page more frequently - they are most definitely AWESOME marketing material otherwise buried 'off-piste' in this forum to anyone who's new to MoI and trying to assess its capabilities within the 30 day trial period.

Beyond being enthralled by MoI's beautiful simplicity, delightful interface and power for all my needs, I am in complete awe of Michael's responsiveness on this forum, all-the-while simultaneously and single-handedly continuing to develop a product as complex as MoI. If that's the price of a forum without the fancy extras, or it takes time to consider them fully, so be it. Thank you Michael.

Hi Hamish,

For this one, try going to "Edit thread options" which is at the bottom of the message view:




Or also a shortcut to get there is to click on the little icon area on the left of the thread list:




Once inside the thread options, set it to "subscribed":



After you click "subscribed" scroll down and push the "Save" button at the bottom to apply the change.


Later on when you want to view all these particular marked threads, change the "View" option at the top of the threads list to view subscribed threads only:




Is that the kind of thing you are thinking of?

One thing to note is that you may receive e-mail notifications of posts to subscribed threads, you can turn it off in options somewhere if you don't want that.

You can also use the "Interested" state instead of "subscribed" - but also I think by default any thread you post in will be set to "interested" - there is a setting under the forum options to not do that as well if you want to control it manually.

Hi Michael,

That's perfect, thank you.

Cheers,
Hamish
