Len: Yeah right...maybe SI could just put an icon (military rank insignia) next to the each poster ranked by the number of bookmarks he or she has of their profile. SI could assign a rank depending on a range. That way we could all tell the generals from the privates. Heck, then we will know when to salute or not, when to give right of way or not and the "egos" will not even have to tell us how great they are, we will know by just looking at the insignia next to their alias. Also, maybe SI could send all that get a generals ranking or greater, some funding so they could have the passage ways in their homes enlarged after their respective heads stop swelling, allowing them to still function normally around their house...<g> Regards, LG

How difficult would it be to have, next to the thread title, a number representing the amount of people who have bookmarked that thread? Along the same lines, why couldn't such a number be similarly situated on a person's profile page, representing how many people have peoplemarked that person? Or, you could even have that number follow them everywhere, alongside their alias in every post they make.<g> This can probably be accomplished but would need to get onto Bryan Burdick's new feature list and then given to the team of new SI programmers. I'll talk to Bryan tomorrow about the implementation process for new features.
