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

Hey. New board.

Every time I use the search feature, I'm personally quite surprised that it doesn't sort by date. That's how I'd like it to work - most recent first.

What D. Griswold said. Most recent date first. (Descending?)

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

I liked sorted by date.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I love the new search/sorting options. Thanks!

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

Cool. I switched the default sort to descending (although I'm a firm ascension gal myself).

Jon -- where are we on the style thing?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Sorry -- I've been way too busy on other projects.

I've been playing at stripping down the index page and applying positional CSS, as a learning exercise -- it's further than one needs go right now (although it would ROCK for reformatting purposes), but I'm finding it very educational.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Cool. I switched the default sort to descending (although I'm a firm ascension gal myself).

On the other hand, it didn't work out so well for Daniel Jackson...

Hey. New board.

The reformatting CSS sounds fun. Would that theoretically allow me (or somebody better at this stuff) to make a more Treo-friendly buffistas, that drops things like tags and the quote and such?

My ideal Treo/mobile b.org experience would be a Message Center that was just the thread titles and how many new messages in each - no sidebars, no quote, no images. The ideal thread page would have just the title at top, then the names and messages (without tags or the "block" link), then the Read New / Message Center/ First/ Previous/ Next/ Last/ Recent links, then the post message box (no directions necessary) at the bottom (if at end of thread). Jump and search optional, though I'm thinking why not - they don't add much data, and I won't have to scroll down to them if I don't need them. If this ever becomes possible, wow, that would just be cool.
