I’ve a suggestion to the forum administratiors: since these forums are very active and great solutions to common problems are found, it would be really cool to make even more efforts to easily find the best topics that helped a maximum of users.
What I suggest is the possibility for each logged user to give one point to each topic that helped him to find a solution. Then, it could be possible to sort the topics by these points and you could easily browse and find again these useful topics. When you perform a search with some keyworks, the best rated topics would also appear first.
topic rating will be available in phpBB 2.2. Asfar as I know the release date for that is somewhere in Q3 or Q4 of 2003,… I will upgrade to phpBB 2.2 by that time
