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.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Looking over this discussion, I realize that I never look at the thread list at all, ever. I am Read New's bitch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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 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. :)

I'm sorry if anything I said implied that you were denigrating -- for my part, I find it interesting that people perceive and use even a fairly simple, clean interface so differently.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
As is, this board swings like a pendulum do!

I love it ,too. My only quibble with read new is that I wish it would stay in a thread until you've read all the posts in the thread, rather than jumping around each time you click. But then I suppose it wouldn't actually be Read New. :)
