Diaries Hotlist Feature Requests
By MrAcheson , Section Wishlist []
Posted on Thu Oct 25, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST

A feature which I posted in my diary on Kuro5hin and was well recieved as a potentially useful time saving feature is this: make individual users diary pages hotlistable.

It has been said before (usually in the diaries of course) that the Diaries section is one of the most interesting parts of the site. Interesting discussion goes on at times and if nothing else its interesting to seek solace in other peoples lives who are even crappier than your own.

Now the big issue with this is that I personally like to keep track of certain individuals who tend to post interesting stuff. The issue here is that the current structure of the diaries makes this somewhat annoying. Hopefully I will see these peoples new entries on the main page or the dairies page, but if you haven't noticed these pages age really quickly. So if I am busy and, god forbid, unable to check the site for several hours, then I'm likely to miss people without knowing it.

Anyway call me obsessive, but it would be nice to be able to hotlist individual peoples diaries. Not individual entries which can already be done of course, but their individual diary index page. That way I can find out if I missed anything without bothering with a search, or clicking through the diaries queue ad infinitum, or whatever your choice of workarounds is. This just would seem more efficient and I think there may be at least a few other people who feel likewise. Thanks.

I was thinking it would be nice to catagorize, list, and index the diaries. In fact, it would be real nice if they could be ranked by the readers. That way within any one category, the most popular and hopefully best diaries would be listed first. Given enough guidance, I might be able to help with the coding of such a feature. ;-) - Joe
