I often forget the titles of threads I am in and then click links to threads that I am in and therefore was caught up with. Would it be a lot of trouble to name participants when posting links?

Would it need to be naming participants, or would any brief description do? The sandboxes which have multiple independent threads are usually listed as a description (like “Nick in summoning circle”) instead of title (like “cooperation”) for disambiguation purposes; would the same technique work for other threads? For example, the last post could have been:
I would prefer this format, because it helps people keep threads straight even when they aren’t participating.

Thread titles have the advantage of being easily C&P'd, rather than needing typing. Descriptions, or titles augmented with authors, could claim this advantage too if the information were added to the thread top post.

Not until now. Since it’s not in the glowfic community, it’s hard for anybody except you two to find out about it.

This is why everyone should use the glowfic community. That is what the glowfic community is for.
