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

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?

Thanks for all the fish.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

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

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

I lean this way too, though it doesn't cause me much distress. Consistency is a worthwhile goal regardless.

Absolutely.

I'm comfortable having my last name used, actually

Would you rather I put your last name back in? It'll take me less than a minute to change it back.

Nah, don't bother.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I'm definatly for consistent, and I'm with Elena. My connection being slow may affect that more than what I do, but if all threads with no unread posts only showed the last post, I could leave my posts-per-page at 200 or whatever and wouldn't be forever changing it.

Another thing to add to the to-do list; adding a mode for folks with impaired vision. Looks pretty easy to do.
