Before we start on anything, we should get a list of all outstanding requests, and stuff that's been partially implemented. I can say up front that I'm absolutely terrible at that sort of listkeeping. But right now we have competing code trees, and I'm way out of touch on what's considered priority.

Then we can get back into mods. And hopefully in a less ad hoc way, with actual releases or somesuch.

Sounds good. The only things I've got outstanding are the threadsuck utility and the list-userids-and-emails thingie. Are there others?

I think the ability to view 10000 posts at a time covers threadsucking, though I haven't tried it.

It's OK as a workaround, but it's not so user-friendly to do it that way. I've written some functions and designed some pages that will be much easier to use.

There are a whole lot of requests that people have made that I've completely forgotten to keep track of. I tend to prioritise by a) coolness to code or b) easiness to code, and that's no good.

I'm comfortable having my last name used, actually -- I keep saying I'm going to reverse-engineer wireframes (information design schematics) from the GIFs I did and put them in my portfolio...

Speaking of requests -- there have been a couple requests to change the behaviour of the thread links on the RH column -- which take you only the last post of the thread in question.

I'd like to throw this up for some more feedback. I never want to read the last userpagelimit - 1 posts, and always scroll straight to the bottom every time I click on a link with no new posts. So, selfishly, I'm very happy that these don't make me have to do that.

I'd been assuming that since no one mentioned it until just a while ago, that it was accepted behaviour.

Is this true, or wishful thinking?

If I want to find a specific post in a thread with no new posts I'll scroll back. Or, if I was smart, I'd bookmark it in the first place. Usually when I click on a thread with no new posts it's because I want to post something. It's easier to have just the last post on the page.

I'm in agreement with what Elena said. Also, when I'm at home on my slow dial-up, and trying to catch-up in Natter by having my posts-per-page limit set at 100, it is quite annoying to have to wait for a page of one hundred already read posts to load.

I like having the context of the last bunch of posts, rather than just the last one.

Whatever is decided, I think it should be consistent between the main threads and the ones on the right side.
