Perfect as an extension, but really not in the core.

Re: [RFC] Related topics
This topic is insufficient for an RFC as it lacks any details of implementation, so moving to discussion.

Re: Related topics
I think that a feature like this can be a great addition to the core as long it is build properly.
The trick however is how to determine whether a topic is "related". Simply matching the topic titles won't be sufficient as you'll also have to take content into account.

Also, comparing topic data is not an easy task. It's a lot like a search (like one made in search.php) for each topic in order to be made properly. This is one of the features you deactivate when you have your server overloaded. I still think -1.

That is why I think it should be left for extensions. More people can determine it in another way, they will create more different extensions and end users can choose the one they like.Erik Frèrejean wrote:The trick however is how to determine whether a topic is "related".

Re: Related topics
Sure it would probably fit better as an extension, but I do think that this is something that could be made into an RFC and then "related" can be discussed there. However this will isn't a trivial RFC to write as you need to make sure things are thought out properly before posting it.Senky wrote:That is why I think it should be left for extensions.

Yes I think this can be something for the core, however I'm not so sure anyone will have the time to properly think this through before posting a RFC for it (if not done properly it will most likely be rejected in no time).
