What is it you normally use, Jon? Are you all hardcore and use only Notepad or what?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Yes, unless you [hit Read New] more often than once a minute, in which case it isn't.

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
I can never wait for the thing to refresh -- there might be new posts! And if there were, I'd just key Read New anyway. I'm gonna go turn my refresh up to a million.

Nahh, I use Dreamweaver, although I do spend a lot of time in code view.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, it just occurred to me that really I should have it at "no refresh," because when I needneedneed to see if there are any new messages, I'm checking constantly, but then sometimes I'm not checking for a while, so what's the point of the computer checking for me.
Huh.

Is there any way to tell what percentage of our bandwith usage (or even page hits) comes from the message center page?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I use Read New. I also hit refresh like a maniac. But I'm set at 5 minutes.
Of course, I wouldn't mind it if I could Read New in order of fewest to most new posts. Because when I'm doing it manually, that's the way I do it. But I don't care, because I can do it manually.

Moving from Bureacracy, because I'm an idiot that way:
Would it be okay to have a link to Set Profile somewhere at the bottomish of the page, like with the
Buffistas Home | FAQ | How-To | Etiquette | About | E-mail Admins
things? It'd be a lot of text on that line, I know, especially if you've a small monitor, but maybe we could move one of those things somewhere else, nest it at the top of the page. I'm just wondering-- I'm always going to the bottom of the page to look for it and getting confused.
