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.
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.
Triangles instead of folders is done. Comments?
I think the triangles are pretty, but I think they're less meaningful to the casual eye than the folders were.
I prefer the triangles. The folders were too small to really be visually meaningful, and I think a left-pointing triangle is a pretty well-known "more stuff under here" marker by now.
The triangles are good, plus there's more space between the folder names now.
What it tells me (and I think that's only as an experienced user) is that if I click, the list will expand in the same space and show me the contents.
Which won't happen here.
To an inexperienced user, I think they'd look like triangles.
I'm with ita, they look like twirlies and don't twirl which is odd. Message Centre only works if you have the thread you want subscribed, though, Jon.
I was sure you were violently agin breadcrumbs, ita. I may be losing my mind.
