Making WebmasterWorld even more useful

please give your suggestions on how WebmasterWorld can become even more use

[Namaste]

Was reading the thread Webmaster World - Most Useful Forum on the Internet [webmasterworld.com], and I thought about starting this thread: How to make it even more useful. Please give your suggestions.

Let me start with mine:

- Regional Forums: Asian, European, etc. In these forums, people can start threads about local topics and those covered by local meembers, for eg. Starting an office in Europe.

- Forum Flagging: Flag a forum of interest and receive a daily summary email of all new threads (headlines only) of that forum. This could be a feature for paying members

- Searchable Directory of Members: Those members who want, can list in a searchable directory. Other members could search on basis of region, interest, etc. Again, for paying members only

- Database Forum: Much requested and much required

- WebmasterWorld Pub Conferences in Asia: It's about time!

Two suggestions which required tiny modification:

1/ Make the Member profile page non-indexable by SEO, this should encourage users to add their URL.

2/ Correct the typo error "Disable [codes] for this message?". Should it not be [code] instead of [codes]?

I like being sent an email when a reply (new post) is added to a thread that interests me. However, I don't like being inundated with a new email every few minutes when the thread is very active. Another forum I frequent (domainstate) has a nice system -- they send a single email when a thread is updated, then stop sending emails until the next time I read the thread. After I leave the thread, I'll receive another email the first time a new post is added, and that's all until the next time I read the thread.

They also have another nice feature: if I click on the link in the email they send me, it takes me to the page containing the post which triggered the email; that makes it easy to jump into the middle of a long thread at the exact point where I stopped reading the last time I visited the thread. Not sure how hard it would be to implement this system, but it is very convenient for members, especially with respect to long/active threads.

yes, a daily digest of new posts in flagged forums will be nice.
