Disregarding the Admin's opinion, I would also that this is not the most important feature the forum needs right now, but like Zed0X said, it still would be nice to have such a feature, but we should also very much understand that this said features on bitcointalk was not built and implemented by theymos (the admin of btt), that feature was built and implemented by a user by the username "PowerGlove", the nigga seems to be a very talented builder and programmer, and he has contributed greatly in the building and implementing some useful features we all use in the btt forum.
So, what exactly am I saying?, we mustn't leave everything to the admin, those of us who are good builders and programmers can actually make out some time and build some of this features and programme it the way it should work, and then pass the finished code to the admin for examination and testing, and I trust that the admin will be happy to implement such feature after the code has passed the test and confirmed no malicious code lurking in it.
