Hi guys! First suggestion, so I hope this is in the right place- not sure if this should go in here or existing feature adjustments, but I think this fits more?

I love looking through suggestions and seeing all the interesting ideas you guys come up with, but it gets hard to remember which ones I've read and voted on and which are brand new. So, my suggestion:
Have an icon to the left of the name of the suggestion in the forum that tells you whether you've viewed or voted on it. Like a little circle, for example- similar to the online symbols on profiles. It would be clear (with a black outline) if it's unviewed by your account, maybe blue if you've viewed it and decided not to vote, green if you choose "I support!", and red for choosing the "I DON'T support!" option.
Alternatively, or in addition to that, it could be useful to add a "Read," "Unread," and "All" filter for suggestions so you could easily filter out ones you've already seen so you can view fresh suggestions without going pages in and losing your place, and tracking down a suggestion you saw a while back and want to share with others could potentially be easier because you wouldn't have to dig through ALL the posts to try and find it.
It's very simple, but I think it would benefit people who enjoy looking at the suggestions, but don't want to read the same ones over and over again, or have to scroll all the way down a possibly-long suggestion to figure out if you've already supported it before you start reading. It would also help people using data, and those with slow internet or little time to make the process as fast as possible to find unread suggestions. I'd also like to see a "return to forum/board?" link at the top of the page so it's easier to go back to the page you were on, especially on mobile, but that's probably a suggestion for another time.
I don't know how mods deal with suggestions, but it could possibly help them as well? Knowing which suggestions they've looked at or not could be helpful, I'd think. Or maybe it could be a toggle-able feature, if it'll cause problems with their current system?

I can't imagine it would be terribly hard to add in, but I don't know what it would take to do it, so I'll leave that for the mods to decide. Most links online already change colors if you've clicked them, so if nobody likes the circle/icon idea, we could at least do that? Even without the support/non-support icons, it would let you see more easily which you've seen and which you haven't, which would help.


Just thought I'd throw this out there. Let me know if you guys have any questions or comments, or further ideas! Have a great day/night, and thanks for listening!
