In a time before the "MT" button the only way to add a thread to "My Threads" queue was by commenting inside the thread. Often this would take the form of a simple "mt" comment indicating you were interested in following the thread for whatever reason. This also had the side effect of bumping the thread and bringing it back to the top of the board, thus bringing it to the attention of more users.

With the introduction of the MT button this has all but died on PT, with the exception of the occasional nod in the form of an "Olde School MT" post indicating the thread is of sufficient quality to bump the thread without contributing.

If the MT button also bumped a thread when it was added to the My Threads queue threads that lurkers find interesting could continue to get exposure without having to make a post in thread.

The MT button should only bump a thread once when the thread is first added to the my threads queue. if this is allowed to bump a thread more than once it WILL be abused, and likely result in chaos.

Bring back "Print Threads" Button, or similar feature to allow easier reading of multi-page threads. In the old school PT layout, there was a Print Threads option available both directly from the main board and once you were viewing a single thread. It allowed for a very effective method of catching up a multi-paged thread with >30 post count. It would print out the entire thread in a single plain text page with simple format showing thread title, post authors, and post contents. Allowed for quick reading of 100+ post thread without having to go page by page. (could also cut down on API calls if that is an issue since the system wouldnt be hit by separate "next page" requests)

i'd rather just have the date stamp back personally. especially on threads older than a few hours ago. the new way could be slightly useful the way it is for very recent posts, but not for older posts.

Proposed new format:
If posted to < 1 min ago, then display "now"
If posted to < 60 min ago, then display "27 min ago"
If posted to < 24 hours ago, then display "9:41 PM"
If posted to < 1 week ago, then display "Sun, 9:41 PM"
If posted to < 1 year ago, then display "Dec 2, 9:41 PM"
If posted to > 1 year ago, then display "12/2/12 9:41 PM"
