Resent, John.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I would love to be able to tell the board I like to go to post 2050, then 2100 etc. like in People's forum.
It's not too difficult to code, but I'm concerned about screen clutter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't even have to add &post_id. Dollars to donuts it will already be there. You just change the current ID to the number of the post you want to see.

Wrod. That's the basis of the John H Natter Diet. It's especially easy because the post number is the last thing in the URL (when reading a thread).
The hard part about the JHND is that I'm often sitting here counting on my fingers and screwing up my face and scratching my head because subtracting 50 from 1115 is not easy for me. I just can't do arithmetic.
I'm secretly hoping that my Diet wil become a board feature, one day. My implementation would be a discreen little field added to the "Read New | Message center | First | Previous | Next | Last | Recent" section, which would say "most recent [FIELD] posts" or similar.

Jon B, I've written to you about that "check tag length" thing, but the short answer is, it doesn't need to be a form element at all, so something like:
document.write('<br><a href="#" onclick="check_length()"><img src="images/btn_checktag.gif" width="178" height="25" alt="check tagline length" border="0"></a>');
should do just fine.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
(John, when you've got an odd number like 1115, just go back to the next-to-last major milestone -- so 1050. )

Yep, John, I got the email and it works great. I've got several mods in test right now waiting for ita to look them over, so, on her advice, I'm going to take it easy for little while. :)

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
a discreet little field added to the "Read New | Message center | First | Previous | Next | Last | Recent"
I never figured out exactly what "Recent" gives you. On WX and TT it was identical to "Last." I think "Recent" should give you the last fifty posts, preferably all at once.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Recent gives you I think the last twelve.
