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.

This is just a silly question.
I know I can't search for ita or Kat in the search engine, and maybe they would like to remain shiftily unavailable like that, but I was wondering if maybe be possible to search for people by user *number*? Like, I know I'm 61, John is 97, ita is 2. I don't know how the search-for-user thing *works*, but if it's something that might be easy to do, it's an idea.
