Making subjects easy to relate to
« on: Wednesday 29 February 12 14:15 GMT (UK) »
I wonder if anybody else has the same problem as me.

I like to look at all new posts, and the "view all since last visit" enable me to do this, however sometimes there are are a dozen of more pages to go through and it would help me considerably to decide whether I might be able to help/learn anything if surname, place and date were available in the subject.

Could I suggest a recommendation that using a title such as surname (in upper case), date and place could be promulgated?
Richard Wernham (Berkshire 18th century),
William Hissey (1805 to 1813, Hampstead Norris),
Kapirin (Siberia 19th Century),
Kitching 1850,
Mary Howse born 1806 ish,
Chris Truelove marr. John Pocock 2-7-1696, Kintbury, Berks

It's already in the suggestions, but can't realistically be enforced.

Use reply rather than quick reply & you can edit the title
