Display threadmarks menu on thread list page #41

Not entirely sure of this feature myself, but putting it here for feedback.

On the thread list page, show the threadmarks drop down menu with threads that have threadmarks.

Something like:

Thread list threadmarks

Will enable quick navigation to specific posts without having to go into the thread.

I think this would be quite useful.

I'm not however sure how you'ld show links to the most recent threadmarks which would be quite handy.

This would require some interesting caching to ensure it was per formant. I'ld probably use my Redis Caching addon since it support vastly more flexible operations.

I would be able to push new creation events to Redis, and then have scripts populate queues for active threads. For non-active threads, pump the most recent threadmarks into the cache and continue.

This would allow the recent threadmark list to operate most of the time with zero DB queries.

Yeah that would be fast alright.

Caching would definitely be something to think about if we ever come to implementing this.
