What did you hook into to do it?

We have our minimum set to 2 characters (using Sphinx) so the problem isn't as bad for us, but I agree that this would be an excellent change. Is there some kind of complication in the implementation that we aren't thinking of? It seems like it should be straightforward.
In Topic: Number of posts to show per page user setting
23 May 2012 - 04:47 PM
IPS's rationale is related to the way they form links to pages and posts: if you allow members to have different settings then one person's page two is another's page ten (for example). If one of those members tries to send a link to another member with a different setting by copying the link in their address bar, it won't work, and I have certainly gotten complaints about this issue in the past. There really isn't a clean way to deal with this problem except to do what Invision did, and remove the feature.
The only alternative I can think of is to include the member's "posts per page" setting in the link itself, and have that override any setting the receiver of the link may have set.

In Topic: Allow users to add tags?
23 May 2012 - 04:30 PM
The Simple Tag Management hook does some of what you want, and is very simple to modify (it's a very small hook). It won't get you everything you want, but some of it anyway. We have it installed at eGullet and it works well.
In Topic: Suggestion: Merge Topics and 301 redirect
21 May 2012 - 12:48 PM
I'd love to see this, I've had to prohibit my mods from merging anything in the first week of a new topic's existence, since any e-mails that got sent out by the new topic creation will be broken upon merging (and then I get confused e-mails from members asking why they are getting e-mails with broken links).
