Folks, we are going to need a way to deal with the "user who creates 15 threads in a day and crowds out everyone else's posts" issue. Not mentioning any names here ;-) Christian, how hard would it be to implement "thread aggregation", so that if a user has posted >3 threads in a single day (or more than 10 in a single week), then those threads would be aggregated together into a single lineitem in the forum view, letting you drill down to see their threads? Because I don't think this problem is going away ;-) -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org
