Someone else already posted this in the wrong forum and it's a great idea. They never re-posted so I decided to. I tried to find the original thread but I lost it because of some of the reasons below...

Problems:
- currently so many sticky's in some forums you can't see many threads
- forums are so active that when you view the next page you're seeing a lot of threads from the previous page (lots of movement)
- threads get left behind easily because of the constant activity

Vote yes if you'd like Bungie to look into this possibility.

** PLEASE REPLY TO KEEP THREAD VIEWED **

PS: Would be less problematic if this idea was used.
PPS: Bungie, I understand a greater load would be put on each page load, but there would presumably be less page loads.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Maybe we could use the "Save Thread" link to keep track of those threads we are interested in.

Crazy, but it just might work.

50+ sounds like a lot of scrolling. I think people would rather hit page 2 than scroll through inches (or feet) of random forum substance.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

No thank you. The only forum that seems to go that fast, and will be the only one for a while, will be the Halo 3 Forum and the Community Files forums. If you want to find a topic, scroll through the pages, it isn't that hard. As for the sticky argument, the sticky's are not an issue. No forum, not even the Halo 3 Forum, is bad.

I'm not talking about going back to a thread because it's hard to find. I'm one of those people who looks at the past day's threads to see what's going on. The whole point is that I click on one because I think it's interesting. I read it. Then I go back to the forum to select the next one I think is interesting. When I come back to that forum list, everything's moved around.

50+ is only double what is there already (25 threads per page).

I agree on your first point, it is only a few of the forums, mostly revolving around H3. But that's why they're interesting right now. When it all dies down and nothing much is going on, it won't be as interesting to come and see what's up. I'm not looking for specific topics, as I said above, I'm looking for anything that interests me. I'm not sure what you mean about the sticky's, I'm not saying they're bad, I'm saying that in the H3 forum for instance, there are something like 10 stickys and you can only see 15 threads on the first page. If you look at the post times, you'll see that they're minutes apart. Not easy to scroll around and see what's happening because every time you reload the page, everything's all new.
