I think, Daniel, that as ita explained here: ita "Buffistas Building a Better Board ++" Aug 19, 2005 3:20:06 pm PDT that for it to get a slug/description means it probably won't happen because it requires other coding.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Or, at the very least make the name "Film and TV Threads" rather than the minimalist "Film and TV" name.
This wouldn't hurt.
or you know, FOLDERS
yep

Boy, when ita suggested that there be a TV folder, I knew it would open a can of worms, I just had not the slightest clue it would be this particular can. In hindsight, I feel like I should have seen this coming a mile away.
I like the new folders, and think the organisational stuff works fine, ita. I use message center anyway, so nothing really changes in either how I use the board, or how it looks to me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How is this a can of worms?
I don't like the idea, but it's clear that I am in the minority. That's the way it goes sometimes. I'll cry and cry and cry use my message center and it won't be an issue, even for me, and I was probably the loudest protester.
The other part, about what to call the folders/subfolders/bojanglers, should be easy to work out.
Go Bojanglers, choose bojanglers.

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, so I'm a way big cranky pants about it. But I figure I lose. Too tired to fight it what amounts to one more click.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I don't use message center either, and it looks weird, but I figure I'll get used to it. (Though I liked the subfolders on the bottom better.)

Okay, so maybe a few worms.
Though I liked the subfolders on the bottom better.
Especially the closed threads bojangler. I'd rather that not be above actve threads.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The amount of questions about foldering convinced me that not enough people had processed the presence of the closed threads. Not a world ender, but once active threads are foldered, I think it's very important that it be made obvious obvious obvious that it's been done.
Bottom of the page doesn't achieve that goal.
And I have yet to think of a logical and systematic way to separate subfolders (so Closed isn't displayed with the others) that doesn't overcomplicate the algorithms.
I'm open to suggestion.

I hadn't realized the closed threads were seen as a problem. I also don't want to overcomplicate things, so I'll fall back on Deena"s good suggestion from earlier
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.
