I find for myself, and I don’t know if anyone else would agree, that I would prefer the discussion pages to be in reverse order. Ie. The last page showing first. I don’t think the responses need to be in reverse order. But when I go to a thread that has, for example 39 pages, I would like to see the most recent first. Especially on threads like for swaps. I don’t really need to read about the swaps from 3 years ago.

If you click on the time stamp it takes you to the most recent post, which 95% of the time is the last page!

Which stamp? maybe it’s firefox… I can’t see it?

Alphakitty said 2013-02-24 01:00:18 -0500

I’m using Firefox and it comes up just fine. There’s the thread name, the number of posts, then a timestamp of the most recent reply!

Oh it’s not in the post itself, it’s on the main discussion board where they are all listed! Sorry if I didn’t make that clear

I think I will be really convenient if you guys add some new fields in the page where people adding a new teas – year and original name (in Chinese for example). It will be really good, because some teas, like pu-erhs, have the same recipes and tea factories release it every year… so you will have “2008 V93” and “V93 2010” and “blabla V93 2011 blabla” names at site. New rules will unify the names and makes it more easy to find some tea.
P.S.: Sorry if a did some mistakes, my English is not good enough ;)

I am not sure if there is a ‘chat room’ on this site?? It would be cool to have one and chat about your tea while you drink it. If there already is a chat room I cannot find it and need help.

This may already be in here as I did not read the whole tread, but a way to note on a tea in our cupboard such as:
I Have Enough To Trade
A Cupboard Staple
Sample Size Only (not tradable)
Willing to Sale
Etc.

Oh, I love that idea! I could use ALL of those notes, actually!

I would also be another interested in having a way to search through the types of tea in my cupboard (rooibos, black, etc.) I know it has been mentioned before…

I would like a complete restructuring of the message boards, because I feel like we’ve outgrown the way they are now.

1) I would like to be able to choose which categories I’d like to see on the boards by default. For example, I’m not interested in companies and promotions, and would like to hide these from the board when I visit. Maybe make it something I would have to choose myself from the drop down menu if I felt like looking, but generally hide it from my view. That category gets a LOT of posts.

2) In the same way, some sort of category for off-topic posts which could be hidden, because I’m not interested in travelling food boxes or the latest Dr Who or what have you either. Then people who were interested in that sort of non-tea related stuff could go there and post to their hearts’ content and I could skip it. Really, this is something I think you should consider because your rule number 1 of ‘keep topics to tea’ doesn’t really appear to be working sometimes.

3) The thread where you invite new users to introduce themselves I think ought to be sticky at the top

In a non-message board wish, I would like to be able to make some sort of link-tag of usernames, so that if someone wrote my name in their post, they oculd make it link directly back to my account. And thereby, of course, also making people have unique usernames to avoid confusion. Maybe have link-tagged names change retroactively if people were to change their username.

I would like to go to a tea page and see which friends have it in their cupboard on the right side of the page. So, if I want to swap, I know who to ask.

Also, I think a Mobile App would be amazing and increase users / exposure.
