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.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Thanks for all the fish.

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.

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

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'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.

I'm a bit confused about that one.
Don't people with those kind of disabilities use the "use my stylesheet, ignore their stylesheet" option available in most browsers nowadays?
I can have everything bright yellow on black in huge fonts in about thirty seconds by using that option.
