I offer a proposal, I think that a nations post that are 3months old or older should be deleted from the "view your post", "view nations post". That way when someone else looks at your post, or you look at yours, you arent hit with somany post. Although, there shoud be a option on the forums where it says quote, delete this post, a option of "save this post?". So if you want to have a record of what YOU said, not others, on your post screen you can. Also, I think that the delete this post should last longer, instead of a few minutes, because sometims you double, triple post on accident. So mods, other nations, what do you think? I will be going into another forum, so dont ask me any questions right now.

My computer said,"Website not responding" and the forum got created anyway.

If I correctly understand what you're trying to say, this would require a complete rewrite of at least elements of the forum, for what seems like very little point.

The 'view posts' option displays the most recent posts first, so just don't look at the latter pages. In any case, most people are nowhere near 1 year old yet, and in any case at the rate some accumulate posts, they'd have pages upon pages well before a year.

As for the other option, if you want a record of a post, copy it to a text file. Or write a database and copy it to that. Or do any number of other things. Writing a script from here that saved it wouldn't acheive a great deal at all

it would be good to have, a thread dossier, where you could save links to certain threads of your choosing, instead of all of the threads with your posts being saved. so that you can 'save' the thread from the top of the page, and delete which ones you want to. this way if you are looking for a certain thread to see someone's response or anything of the like, it would be quite simple, no searching through the forum, and no searching through your posts list
