Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Jon, maybe you can compare the version you have with the version in place

Compare who with the what now? Not sure I follow. I hope you don't mean the versions you just sent me because I deleted them.

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

Never mind, then. I'll do it from home.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just want to say that I like the folder icons and the lack of a subfolder bar. 'Tis nice.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Have the folder icons changed? Because they look better now than they did at work. (PC there, Mac here, if that makes any difference.)

Not yet.

move out and draw fire

You guys rock! Front page looks slick. And I didn't think I had an opinion about whether some threads should be folderized, but turns out it makes me very happy.

Go BBuildaBB Team!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The home page looks really good.

The folders aren't so much foldery on my screen (low tech alert: 1024 x 768 on a very old, very small laptop) as they are something that makes me think of folders. Impressionistic folders all tiny-fied on my screen.

Anyway, it looks good. Logical architecture even while the folder icons only imply folders to me.

Also still quite work-friendly and, I think, more intuitive than any of the foldering ideas I have seen so far. FTR, I appreciate the work friendly and am quite pro-folder, because digital is the one organization I can attempt to master.

And the subscribe/unsub button is the coolest. I am enthralled with it still.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Architecture-wise, should we habve links to the folders on the thread page. So if you're in, say, Spoilage and want to go to spoilage lite you go to folder/newpage rather than having to go home. I would say "breadcrumb trail" but I suspect ita and Misha would beat me up.

I have nothing against the term breadcrumbs, and they'll show up one day, I promise.
