PrestwoodBoards Message Board Help: Prestwood Boards New Features! By Mike Prestwood

Posted 5 years ago on 3/31/2008 Summary: We deployed several new features this month.

In addition to making some nice visual changes for a cleaner look, we've added the following features to our Message Boards:

Quote with Reply

Now you can quote a particular thread post as part of your reply. Check out the new Quote option that is part of every post.

Message Board Read Counters

Now each thread has a counter so you know how many visitors have read a particular thread.

Most Read Threads Page

To go with our new thread counter, we have a new Most Read threads page which lists the top 100 most read threads. This is important in that we want to make sure our most popular threads have good and complete information.

Select the Most Read option from the message board menu:

Most Read Community Group Board Threads Page

We also surfaced a version of this page for each community group, we have a new Most Read Threads page which lists the top 100 most read threads for that group.

Go to your favorite community group and select the Most Read Threads option from the group menu:

Knowledge Base Too

We also surfaced similar features for the knowledge base. Now you can view the most read KB posts overall and for your favorite community group.
