I've noticed on other sites, when a new post is added to a thread, the thread moves to the top of the board. That's great because it means new contributions aren't buried, and also negates the need to start a new thread on the same subject just to keep it topical. So why doesn't that happen here on TER?
To be honest I'm getting pretty fed up having to keep scrolling through pages/doing a search to see if there have been any new contributions to an earlier thread I'm interested in, especially if I haven't checked in for a day or two. And if there have been, often a mere handful of people have read it because it's buried and not at the top of the home page.
I didn't explain myself well when I said I just bookmark it. What I mean is that open the initial topic post and save that website to one of my bookmark folders. For example, I save Helena Sweet's post as a bookmark so I can have the link to her profile and the information she posted all in one link.
That way, once someone else posts under the thread, I can always look down at all the replies and read the new ones.
Good idea, but a bit hassley for most. Also, unless someone's done what you have and are specifically keeping an eye on that thread, any new replies get buried and go mainly unread. I just think the 'bumping' system would be easier and better all round.
