But if the idea of the TV folder was to neaten the home page, wouldn't a reading and writing folder help accomplish that goal?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Well, wasn't the point of the TV folder that TV is where proliferation is rifest*? If we suddenly get calls for a Jonathan Strange thread and a Margery Allingham thread and a thread for the Booker then it would make sense, but we pretty much have a static very small number of book threads.
*It's a word now. Sue me.

Our wings are not tired.
I thought it was an organizational thing. Then a reading/writing folder makes sense. A Message Center person myself, so no matter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My idea was to make it so the front page didn't grow anymore, because it was unwieldy. I feel that has been achieved.

If I only had a brain...
Can I have a link in the bottom of the page that's something like "Folder message center"? Right now, I read by
Message Center -> TV Folder -> Veronica Mars -> Message Center lather, rinse, repeat.

What do you mean by folder message center?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Message Center -> TV Folder -> Veronica Mars -> Message Center lather, rinse, repeat.
I don't understand this. The Message Center doesn't have folders.

That's the point. When I finish reading a thread, I always click Message Center. Now that bounces me back two levels (out of the folder and into the center) instead of one.
I'd like to have something like the Message Center that bops me back to the thread-display level of the current folder rather than bopping me back to root.
