I'm told that the Buddies List has not worked in ages and certainly has not worked since I signed up last year. So I'm not sure how it used to work or was intended to work.

The problem is that I don't have as much time for ATS as I used to and sometimes go several days without visiting.

There are some quality posters on these boards that I really like to read. Going to the members tab, searching for their name and then brigning up their posts to find their latest contributions is tedious. Especially since I have to do it over and over again for each member.

Is there some easier way one can keep track of specific posters?

If not can we find one?

I know that for usenet news readers, that there is sometimes that ability to 'score' posters. anywhere from a very large negative number (ignore) to low negatives to postivies to very very high positives. This sorts the threads by numerical order. This wouldn't work for 'new posts' but -might- be applicable to the myAts screen. This way if Poster A is scored with 1,000 and has responded to 'Alien Illuminati Reptiloid Conspricay', that thread will pop up at the top of your 'my ats' list.

However this would mean that it'd allways pop up whenever someone repsponds to it.

If multiple posters with low but good scores respond to a thread, then that thread gets pushed up the rankings because they are additive.

However I suspect that admin is familiar with newsreader scoring and other possible systems and have considered them.

To date, all tagging efforts have been clawed and chewed off by our more prolific posters.

HEY! I don't remember posing for that picture RANT! Try tagging me while I'm awake and you'll be wearing the tag in such a fashion that no external fastening devices will be needed, if you know what I mean.

Oh wait... you said prolific, nevermind. I guess that was some other big hairy ATS member.

Wow, Gools. I apologize that I missed your post on this. I'd make you one of my 'favorites', if I could.
