Re: 'Nodes you wrote' root revisited

There has been some reluctance to add features to the PMUS. The feeling has been that the more powerful PMUS is, the less it distinguishes itself from SS, and thus the less reason for its existence. Indeed, my first thought when I read your request was to suggest using SS; it already has the capability you want.

However, PMUS currently has one nice feature lacking in SS — namely, reporting the reputation of your own nodes, when viewing "Nodes You Wrote". So my conclusion is to make a counter-proposal:
Add reporting of node rep in SS (for those nodes you're allowed to see the rep of: your own nodes, and nodes you have voted on).

Another thing I'd like to see added to the SS results listing is the number of replies.

So now we're really talking about combining the display power of RAT with the search capabilities of SS...

Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.

Very true. In the ideal case, we'd have a really improved SS with customizable output, thread view, and possibly a few simplified interfaces to called. This would require lots of more work though. Also, sorry I bring this up again, but it would also help a bit if you could watch threads you post to and other threads you're interested in.	[reply]

However, PMUS currently has one nice feature lacking in SS — namely, reporting the reputation of your own nodes, when viewing "Nodes You Wrote". Besides the reputation and root node link, there are other differences when comparing NYW and SS: NYW alternates the background color of the rows, which I prefer. NYW wastes space on Node ID. To me, this is an implementation detail which should not appear in this search results summary. Both SS and NYW include the date of node creation, but only NYW lists the time of node creation. I'd like to see the time listed. Usability: NYW requires no setup, a saved SS requires setup. Replace Node ID with an SS-style root node link and NYW will be perfect! It's a great spot for it, too, as the SS-style root node link indicates the section where the node lives. Can you customize the column order and row highlighting in SS results? If not, that's why I'd like a modified NYW rather than reputation added to SS. (Cool, I just saw that from the results page you can save a Super Search for later access with one click!)	[reply]
