New Public Requests
Posted: Sun May 09, 2010 11:37 pm
I am new, so if this has been asked before, please forgive. I searched and couldn't find it, so I am barreling ahead.
In the list of New Public Requests, is there a way that the "topic" or "title requested" could be what we see on the list instead of only "New Public Request?"
e.g. Name of Requestor/// New public request///due date-exp is what we currently see. If New Public Request was changed to NPR, there would be a small space for some portion of the topic requested to show:
e.g. Name of requestor /// NPR-teenage fashion /// due date
Name of Requestor /// NPR--gladiator sandals /// due date etc.
Even a small hint triggers what the message was about. This would allow me to scan the list for which articles I could work on next without having to open each one again. An article at first glance may not be the best to work on, but later there might be a reason to work on it. My computer is slow, so opening and closing the messages in order to determine what's the best article to work on takes a long time. If I could scan them quickly, I could prioritze and spend more time writing and less opening /closing messages.
I delete article requests that I have no interest in or chance of writing about, but some, I leave because I never know when things could change and it would become good to write about it. When that is the case, finding it again can be a lengthy propositon.
If I am the only one that could benefit from being able to scan the public request messages for article topics, then disregard this request. If others could benefit, would it be a possibility when you are doing site renovations?
Thanks for the great support. I appreciate all you are doing to make a great site for us.
Sincerely,
Lyn
