Dates and descriptive titles in the News forum

Claudio	Posted: Jun 12, 2009 Score: 1 It's often difficult to tell which threads in the News forum actually have "News". Here are the current threads: Updated Toodledo iPhone app Two big updates and 6 little ones View Deleted Tasks RSS feeds updated Updates to forums Two More Improvements Toodledo on the iPhone Firefox Addon updated Improvement to Subtasks Email tasks to Toodledo has been greatly enhanced Updates to due dates and start dates Repeat from Start Date Fixed a rare repeating subtask bug Some more small refinements Some are specific, some are not. Look at the first one: Updated Toodledo iPhone app. Great! I've been expecting an update. But when was the update? Ah, December 23, 2008. :( How about "Two more improvements"? The last post was May 20, but the improvements were announced on Sept 24, 2008. Of course, the RSS feed shows a better view of the real "News", but I don't use it as much as the Forums. Also, having more descriptive titles in the News forum would make it easier to find a specific thread. For iPhone updates, how about something like: "New iPhone app, version 1.5, 15-June-09"? For specific improvements to the website, something like: Web app update 4-Sep-08: Search subtasks and Multi-Edit delete. Thanks.

Linden	Posted: Jun 15, 2009 Score: 0 This is true. Having the date in the forum post as well just helps readers figure out which conversations are relevant to recent news without cross-referencing the news page every time. Having a "thread started" date auto-generated could do the trick as well, but would involve more programming time. You definitely have enough higher-priority projects, though.
