Description Mose 2008-08-08 10:54:51 UTC
I have a suggestion to make. I love the "Random Article" feature, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make it somewhat personalized, for those who have accounts. That is, feature something like "I like this article/I don't like this article," and then alter what comes up for future random article clicks based on one's preferences. How difficult would that be to do? Would saving members' preferences take up too much space? How hard would that be to code into the site? Thanks for your time!

I'm not sure how useful this would be. Sounds like trying to reimplement stuff like StumbleUpon.

Close as WONTFIX per comment 2. Without a patch or someone working on this, this will never go anywhere.
