    Similar Threads

    I subscribed to another forum about electonics, and I noticed they have a feature that is quite usefull sometimes.

    At the bottom of the page they have a "Similar Threads" section, for example see my thread here:
    http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=7508

    Why can't we enable this feature also ?

    That seems like a nice feature.

    Re: Similar Threads

    For the same reason we don't implement a lot of other nice-to-haves, and that is that it would take a hack of the forum software and with dozens of forum sites to maintain it's to difficult to do.

    That feature is a bit processor intensive, especially with the high level of activity this forum has. As such, we didn't think it was worth the risk of slowing down the overall performance.

    Brad has the reason. With the number of performance issues and complaints we have here already, we didn't think it was wise to enable anything that would/might add to them.

    Its a built in feature of vB but on a large board it will hinder performance. Not sure what version that board is running or if our version supports it but if there was a way to get around the performance hit, it would be nice.

    It's been a feature going back several versions from this one. 3.0.x was where it began, I believe.

    I didn't realize that, hence my original response.
