Related threads feature??

From what I've seen in various forums, the function seems to grab a couple of words from the subject of a thread & seek out other threads with those words in the subject line. How related they actually are is anyone's guess..hehe.
 
Yeah, it seems to be a simple search and list... another new feature that is pretty, but apparently quite useless. :Spin:

It's late, gimme a break. ;)

It's kind of like a news segway.

"Doctors treating a ninty-year-old pregnant woman claim that because of her advanced age she will have a grown-up."

In a completely related story:

"A sixty-five-year-old fitness expert trotting backward from Winnipeg to Chile in an effort to promote backward trotting was killed today when she was hit by a truck head-on from the rear."

Now, here's Tom with the weather.

Segway? You mean 'segue', right? Or do you spell it as "segway" in the states?

Nope, it's segue here too, but much like voila often being spelled *walla*, some folks spell by ear.

of course everyone is allowed to make a few spelling mistakes, but sometimes it seems some people not only spell by ear, but they do it being deaf! :p

I have noticed some have nothing to do with each other,but from time to time one appears that has something to do

:lol: I thought something similar. Unless those people are German and pronounce a 'w' as a 'v'...

YAY!! Val and Lee in the same thread!! How are you two???

As for the spelling thing, I just try to ignore it..I am totally anal when it comes to spelling (won lots of spelling bees in school and so on), and if I didn't ignore it, it'd drive me batshit.. :lol:

my goodness, spelling bees? a sort of transgenic monsters?
(ok, let's try to imagine them: fat and cute); if each spelling bee were associated to a word to spell correctly, the one with "definitely" written on its back would have committed suicide ages ago. probably "deffinuttaly" is the only version i haven't read yet :tickled:

I'm doing great, thanks! Keeping very busy, which is a good thing! :) And yes, I was waiting for June..the countdown to good things for Jax has begun!

What will you two be doing with your summer? Spending any of it together?

Spelling bee = a spelling contest usually held in school. ;)
