Billytea, but you can opt not to subscribe to the spoiler threads.

True, and I've done that. In any case, I can also just take the time to read the thread names more carefully before clicking on them. LIkewise, of course, if they were rearranged, there's nothing that people do now that they couldn't do afterwards, if they just change the way they approach matters. (If it's 'read new' all the way, for instance, then the layout of the home page becomes largely irrelevant.)

As I understand it, the issue isn't so much whether a bod can get around it, but which arrangement is most amenable to people. I like the idea of having them categorised, at least to the point of NAFDA, Spoilers, and Other; YCMV.

So true that humans are incredibly adaptable creatures. I guess categorization is just not a big deal to me at all one way or another because of the way I read. Most amenable is, of course, entirely personal value driven and entirely subjective. For me, categories aren't amenable in the least.

rambling about this due to reasons not related to what you had to say.

I guess I'm just sad that instead of basking in new board goodness that we're already compiling the list of things we want to make different. Makes me feel sad is all (mainly because it totally upsets me when I spend a lot of time creating something and people give me head pats at the same time they are saying "well I don't like this and fix this." It's happened enough to me that it makes me want to hunt people down, or at least throw my hands up in frustration and say, "fuck you. you do it." - again my issues alone.)

Now like my innocence/Pie gone...

I'm with Typo Boy on the fixed positions of threads because I find it more convenient if I just want to hit one place. Not that it has been a problem.

I think, maybe as an option ...

Because I hate scanning the whole list to see which threads have been recently active, probably as much as the Virgos hate a thread never being in the same place twice in a row.

Looking over this discussion, I realize that I never look at the thread list at all, ever. I am Read New's bitch.

I am Read New's bitch.

Me too. And I LOVE that at the end of Read New, it puts you right at your message center.

I am also Read New's bitch.

Me too. So, who cares where the threads fall?

I don't use read new much cause I like to decide which thread I read next. t /end control issues And I don't thnk suggesting improvments in any way denigrates the fabulous work that has already been done. I mean that is what this section is for. Possibly it is because I'm in the field myself. But generally a piece of software is a evolving entity. There will always be new suggestions regardless of how much is done. It is not like building a car or writing a work of fiction ( except maybe a textbook where there is always a new edition coming out). Hey we waited until the second day it was live before suggesting improvements. :)
