Isolating attachments

[mos6507]

Some threads in the forums are analogous to blogs even though they aren't people's personal blogs. People post their homebrews and hacks in the threads and they go back and post revisions. I think it would be useful to have a filter mode when viewing a topic that would only display messages containing attachments. That way we could isolate the newest build.

The forum already has this capability -- when viewing the list of threads in a forum (such as the Homebrew Discussion forum), each thread that has one or more attachments has a little paperclip beside it:

 

 

If you click on the paperclip, you'll then see a list of all the attachments in that thread, including the date each was posted:

 

 

In the case of a discussion about a homebrew game, usually the last binary will be the most recent (if that's what you're looking for).

Cool, I never realized the paperclip was clickable.
