Been playing Halo since 2001. I know my Halo.

Have you ever been surfing the forums, and want to have discussions in multiple threads while only using one tab/window? I have, and I always am.

Its very annoying to have multiple tabs open at a time for me, especially since I'm always multi-tasking on many sites.

My idea for a new feature on Bungie.net: Quote PMing.
Now I'm not sure how hard this would be to create, but it would be a nice thing to have.

This simple: After you post in a thread and leave, people have the option to quote what you say. If you are quoted, you will receive a PM shortly after with a link to the thread and/or what they said in a response.

You could turn this feature off whenever you want, and set certain preferences to your likings, such as only being PM'd once.

What do you think?

EDIT: Sorry everyone, I didn't notice the sticky for these things. This is my first time posting in this branch of the forums, and I'm gonna move this idea over there. Let this die.

I get more ass than a toilet seat.

Yes, but then you would be spammed with PM's.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Most forums have a feature that you are emailed when a reply is posted on a thread that you are watching. Here, you can save the thread and view it in your profile. Sorry, but that's probably the best that you're gonna get.

Not to say that this is a bad idea, but the quote pyramids would be enormous...

I don't think you fully understood what I meant.

This system would PM you only if somebody quoted you, and no other time.

Aren't they already?

Is that better than the saved threads feature that we have... just playing devil's advocate, but would something like this just be a better mouse trap?

Once again, this system is to determine when you get QUOTED in a thread that you have replied too.

The Saved Threads feature is something that you have to click around to get too, and is only used to save a thread, or tell when it has a new reply.

And the gears will spin.
And the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell.
And the righteous few will spit on you.
So bid them all farewell.

I have a hard time feeling sympathy for people who don't have the courage to take charge of their own lives.

Eh, most people post their ideas in the "Suggest the next Big New Feature" thread. While I agree with your idea, I would have rathered seen it there, with all the rest of the ideas.
