AI Thread Summary
The "similar threads" feature has recently gained attention following a software upgrade. Users have noted that it is prominently displayed at the bottom of posts, yet many are unaware of its presence, often due to not scrolling down far enough. Some users who frequently utilize the quick reply option have missed it entirely. The feature is appreciated for its ability to connect users with unrelated threads, enhancing the browsing experience. Overall, it seems that while the feature is beneficial, its visibility remains an issue for some users.

What a great feature!

I have just recently caught on to the "similar threads" at the bottom of each post.

Is this something new? or have I just missed it until now?

I'm pretty sure it was added when Greg did the last software upgrade a few days ago.
 


That's correct. I think most people are unaware of it.
 


I don't know how you can miss it if you were used to the older style. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

A lot of people don't scroll to the bottom of the page.

I use quick reply nearly all the time because I'm lazy so I guess I would probably notice it more.

I often use quick reply, but didn't notice until someone posted a thread about it. I don't often scroll far enough past the quick reply box, just get it onto the bottom of the screen, so didn't notice it there.
 


Funny. Below "What a great feature!" thread there are no similar threads listed :smile:

Hehe, that's one of the great features, it brings up unrelated threads that you can read!
