Another Idea 
Ability to tag favorite posts. Say you're digging back a few years for some mapping help or a particular topic, you can flag it as a favorite, add a keyword or 3, easily accessible in your Account page. 
Also 
You could set a range of posts, like #234-263 etc. 
Interesting 
i'll add it to the list 
While We're Requesting New Features 
I've always been bothered by the fact that you could never link to the 'last 25' posts of a thread externally. Such as, if I wanted to link to the Speedmapping thread in general, but wanted to ensure that the link only went to the last 'page' of posts. 
Scampie: 
good point. 
Another Suggestion 
RSS feed(s). 
Yes... 
But what's the point? Even if I created a feed, nobody would realize that it even existed.

Why wouldn't they - surely you would link it somehwere for all to see... or are you saying RSS is so underused it's not worth it? 
What I'm Saying Is... 
go to the news page. 
Metl 
That brings me to news_rss.php which Firefox just wants to bookmark - but where is the actual .RSS feed that I could add to a reader? 
Phait 
news_rss.php 
Spirit 
index.html 
Inertia 
You failed to understand. The news_rss.php which Firefox just wants to bookmark actually works fine as it is a proper rssfeed. 
Spirit 
proper rssfeed. 
K It Works

Thought it had to have .rss or .xml extension 
Phait: 
I'm not sure that it does, but I'll find out. I can change the extension if necessary. 
News Archive 
the "news archive" link doesnt seem to be working, at least for me. : / 
Works For Me... 
There seem to be a lot of complaints from some people about not being able to load certain pages, such as the entire general thread, or the archive threads.

I wonder if some proxys/ISPs/something else have some sort of max page size? The news archive is 313K, maybe that's too big.

Can you view the discussion archive, or "all posts" from any large threads? 
I Also Can't 
access the News Archive or View All Threads; I get the std "page cannot be displayed". 
But General Abuse 
from beginning seems to at least start loading properly (I didn't wait for all to load). 
Hmmm.... 
i've been assuming it had to do something with the total page size. perhaps the the cause is something on the pages themselves, such as a special character that breaks the page. Could this be related to the default character encoding that browsers use, maybe? 
Metlslime 
Maybe it also have something with the navigator configuration: I have firefox at office and at home, but as example, at office I can't view all the News archives when at home it is possible... and my personnal PC is not a 'running' machine.... 
Weird 
what happens if you try this link?
http://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/www.celephais.net/board/view_all_news.php

Or try downloading the page with something else than your browser and open it then.

It works fine... but from the Func_ link it crashes claiming:

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

The following error was encountered:

* The request or reply is too large.

If you are making a POST or PUT request, then your request body (the thing you are trying to upload) is too large. If you are making a GET request, then the reply body (what you are trying to download) is too large. These limits have been established by the Internet Service Provider who operates this cache. Please contact them directly if you feel this is an error.


wtf ? 
Spirit 
that link works fine for me.
