Related Posts for Board Posts

We’ve had a Related Posts module on the blog for a while now, and they’ve been pretty popular!

We’ve been wanting to add Related Posts to the message boards for a while now. It was a little tricky, since our blog and boards use slightly differently types of software… but we finally pulled it off!

Now if you visit this boards posts on the Vera Wang 2008 NYC Sample Sale, you’ll see a number of related posts on other sample sales:

This is especially helpful on boards, where a lot of the same questions come up over time. So now if someone asks, “What gifts should I get my bridesmaids?”… a bunch of older posts on the same topic will come up. Hopefully some of them will have useful information that helps out :).

I have to head out to a birthday dinner for a friend now, but let us know what you think!

I noticed this feature this evening and I think its GREAT! I click on posts that are of interest to me, so the “related posts” are most likely something else that I’m interested in!
Mrs. Bee– great job… you are always finding ways to improve an already user-friendly, informative & great website!

Hmmm, now if only I could figure out how to get my username posted when I comment! I’m signed in (BeachBrideT) & when I comment on the boards, my user name shows up, but not here on the posts, like on this one, and the 1st comment on this post (Anonymous… which is me) …

@Anonymous: I’ve noticed your “Anonymous” comments! A few other users have also been affected. Could you try signing out and signing back in, to see if that helps?

Also, if you know how to clear your cookies… could you clear your Weddingbee cookies? That would help too!

Thanks,
Mr. Bee
