A few features I would like to see: - It needs a RegEX to remove all email addresses from the message body (john.doe@gmail.com -> john.doe@...) - While removing the email addresses, it should scan them to see if any of the registered members have that email, if so then link to that user to send them a private message - Notifications. This is one of the main things that I would see greatly shifting me to use the site primarily. Within my user preferences, to be able to customize my key words and add flags. So if someone mentions "Engines" I get a notification sent to me, with the thread that has accumulated already. When new messages arrive to threads I have already received, I only receive the pieces that are new. - Someone else said this already, but I want to emphasize how sweet it would be to track all messages by a certain email (whether they are registered or not) as well as registered members. It would also be great to include this in the search feature as well, to be able to filter the messages by user. There are a few key people that I would like to keep tabs on ;) In addition, when viewing a profile, to list all the recent posts by this user. - Someone mentioned this already as well, to be able to categorize the message threads by tag. Allowing people to tag things with similar style to that of de.licio.us, whereby there is a list of recommended tags available below the input which scans the email and grabs the keywords based on the index of tags already. Actually, automated tagging would be sweet. Where people don't have to actually tag anything, it just scans the message for a index of keywords and whatever ones it finds, it tags it with. So if someone says "Engines" in there message, or "ActiveRecord" or "AR", then the message gets tagged. - Users could add additional index tags if they feel its necessary, such as "acts_as_authenticated", or "ACL". In all, these would only make what you have done that much better. But even without these suggestions, it's a great tool. Nice work!
