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

I'm not sure how much use that would be if you're not subscribed to all the threads in the folder.

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

I've been experimenting with that, Tom. I'm still not sure of the specific approach, and the potential hit to the speed of the page loads. Still playing.

It'd be of some use (why I'm still playing) -- I miss it at WX, for instance, although I don't care about every thread in the TV forum -- but I do know if there's been activity since the last time I looked, even if I'm not sure where.

The other thing I'm thinking of is the ability to subscribe to an entire folder (not to every thread in the folder -- to the entire folder, no matter what threads lie in it).

WX had a Mark as Read function, though, which meant you could clear the unread messages you don't care about from the totals. That made it more useful as an indicator.

True, but I never used Mark Read, and it was still useful for me.

If I only had a brain...

I have a nasty sense of entitlement going on in the above requests. I apologize. Could you add the question to the to-consider list?

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

ita, I'm supposed to include site traffic type numbers in my book proposal, can I some info from you on # of unique visitors per month on average?

Drop me an e-mail so I remember to do it from home, can you?
