Yes'm. It's working; I was just confused.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I have a question regarding taglines; sorry if it's been dealt with before (couldn't keep up with this thread at WX). Will we get the option of turning off taglines like we did at WX?
See, the seasons are about to start, and I know that people are going to be using the best and wittiest lines from the shows as tags soon, which is perfectly understandable. Even if they're not spoilery per se, they can have the effect of taking you right out of the show if you're watching it for the first time, because you've read a certain phrase X times already.
I had the taglines turned off all the time at WX, and I have to say it was a real blessing when it came to enjoying the shows.
On Edit: it's fine if this isn't planned, BTW; I really don't want to come across as critical in the midst of all this boardy wondrousness where everyone is super-considerate of UnAmericans as it is. I was just asking!
ita. E-mail sent to profile addy. Maybe I can help a little. I don't have a lot of time, but I might be able to slowly do some things here and there.
Gud -- thanks. Now I just have to remember what the test password is, so you can get up to speed.
Which, unless I have a breakthrough, will have to wait until jon comes back.
I had a brainstorm this morning, I don't know if others would find it useful or not. When I click on Message Center, I'd find it really useful if the threads where the message count wasn't "0" were presented with a different color for their title, or message count. So that my bleary eyes, running down the page trying to figure out which thread gets priority would be drawn to the ones that are ripe for plucking.
I don't know how difficult the coding for this would be, nor how many people this feature would be invaluable for, since I'm much more visually-cued than average, but I speak sincerely when I say that for someone like me it would be really neat.
Fiona, when you register or go to your profile page to change a tagline, it says to avoid spoilery taglines for the sake of UnAmericans. I think people who ignore that and use spoilery taglines should get a thwack^H^H^H^H gentle suggestion from the Stompy Feet that their tag should be changed.
Connie, you do realise that threads with new messages are towards the top in Message Centre (sorry, I physically can't spell it the American way), right?
Which reminds me, I have a suggestion: how about categorised threads on the front page, non-categorised threads in the Message CentRE?
I do like Angus' second suggestion, and was going to make it myself, if it were easy to implement; but, er,

that's not in my experience-- it seemed to be that the last one I looked at was at the top. So I could have a 0 New above one with 16 New.
But the Read New button fixes all that. Especially cool (I think) how it doesn't have to take you to the next one in *that* thread-- because I always have three or four windows open, reading more than one thread at once.
It's so shiny!

I was going to suggest this, too, but I was thinking of it more for Beep Me and Press, because they don't ever show up at the top of the message center, and it would be nice to have a visual clue that would draw your vision to them.
Hey, question about read new: when you click on it, how does it decide which thread among those with new messages to bring up?
