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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'd see an advantage in that I'll often just go through the threads in order, and I'll accidentally click on the spoiler thread before I realise what I'm doing. Once the new season starts up I imagine that'll become a greater issue for some.
...Plus, it appeals to my Virgo mind to have them all neatly labelled and playing happily in their own section. Damn this Aquarian free association!

Billytea, but you can opt not to subscribe to the spoiler threads. If you operate from the message center, you avoid lots of the problem of accidentally reading something you don't intend to read and never subscribed to.
I love it here. Truly.

I'd agree with wanting the main page segregated by type of thread. It helps if I know where the spoiler thread can be and just not look at the fact that there's 100 new posts in an hour there, or something. :)
But seriously, there are some things (BitchFic, PPO) that I"m not subscribed to, so that at work, I can hit "read new" and not worry TOO much about actual porn showing up on my screen. But if I WANT to read these, it would be nice if I could find them easily, rather than scanning the whole main page. Does that make sense?
t edit: also, this "Plus, it appeals to my Virgo mind to have them all neatly labelled and playing happily in their own section.". I'm a Virgo too, what can I say?
