The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I personally don't like the way it looks looked for a few minutes, with the folders, especially the closed thread folder, above the others.

I am also still opposed to folders for open threads.

On the other hand,

I think we should just let ita do what she thinks is best and then sit back and see if it works the way most people like it.

This is more true.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Is there a way to fix the order in which the folders are displayed, or is it first in, first out?

Many people fear change. Many people need to get over it.

Also, many people need to utilize the AWESOME subscribe/unsubscribe links and use Message Center.

There is no change to how Message Center works or looks.

Because books.

I love Message Center. The only time I see the front page is when all my threads are quiet, and I'm looking around for conversation elsewhere, or when I initially load b.org.

I like change. That doesn't make me like the folder idea or look.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't use Message Center. AND YOU CANT MAKE ME.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

AND YOU CANT MAKE ME.

Actually, I can. Don't dare the developer.

I've ad-hocedly moved Closed to the bottom.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Visually, I'm not loving the look of the folders.

Philosophically, they completely rock. (And B/A, FF, Minearverse? Totally Film/TV threads. Into the folder they go.)

How difficult would it be to, instead of having 2 red bars, just have a little folder icon next to the folder links?

Actually, I can. Don't dare the developer.

She's itching for a fight, too. It's because she's fluffy.

I'm loving the folders. The home page fits without scrolling!

Visual changes are in Jon's ballpark. I don't want to mess with his baby.
