Y'all are amazing. Ita is a wonder woman.
Q: There's no search available inside a thread, correct? Will that be added later? (as a drive-byer who can't keep up with the volume of posts, it's handy to locate topics I want to follow within a thread.)
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

How come when I click Read New, it doesn't read that this thread has new messages?

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

Ok, the problem with changing your subscriptions, as far as I can tell, is once you've checked which ones you want, and ok'd them, then you have to log out and log back in. And if you have none checked you get them all.
Have I mentioned that this place is just so wonderful and pretty yet? Because it is.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
for the record when I added subscriptions I did not have to log out and log back in - I just went to my message center and there were my new threads.
psst. I knew you all liked me better than Alibeele. HAA.

OK - some suggestions
1) Any chance we can add t BIG and t SMAll to allowable tags?
2) Any chance number of posts per page could become a variable set by users in profile? - (up to a max that does not strain database).
3) Any chance that threads could be arranged within an outline - that is a NAFTA section, and general section, a spoilers section and so on? Still on the same page of course.
And no hurry on any of it. As is, this board swings like a pendulum do!
(And let's see if anyone recognizes the quote!)

What's wrong with having most recent at the top?

Just - generally whei I read Nafta, I like to real all in NAFTA at once. And ditto spoilers.
It could still be arranged by most recent within sections.
But maybe it is just me, or just me and a small minority. I think we have enough threads that those subscribed to a large number of them might see an advantange in this.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Just wanted to say after a day's usage, that this is marvelous. Everything works so beautifully and quickly, and I don't even benefit from double screening, because it loads so fast! Every time I look for a button, there's the link right under my cursor. Every option I really need is already there. I applaud ita and the coders and htmlers, of course, but I also applaud all of the Buffistas, because it was your input that made this so perfect.
