No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

the difference between "Search thread #__" and "Search [thread names dropbox]" is very small.

Because you already convert the thread_id to the thread title all over the board. I should've realized that. I was just thinking of the front end of the page and wanting to type the thread id number in a form instead of in the URL.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Request: can we put a "subscribe to this thread" link somewhere in that opening description of the thread itself? (I can try to suggest a location if it's doable). And can the list of threads in Set Profile be last-first rather than the other way around if we're going to keep all the old threads listed for a while yet?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I agree Michele. I think both those are fairly easy to code as well.

I would love that.

By the way, ita, [link] works for me now. Go figure.

And looking at the thread title block, it could be

Natter 5,435: Will You People Never Shut Up?

Once more into the natter breach, dear friends. Blah blah nattercakes spoilerfree blah (Subscribe)

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

It's currently commented out, but there's a line between the title and the blurb where the subscribe would go. I like it there better, since it's a more constant position, unlike after the highly variable length blurb.

I agree with ita. That's also where it was in the original design.

Aha. I didn't know those were still around. Yup, that's where it's commented out. Although there are no outstanding plans for a discussion summary. A link to threadsuck might go there, though.

We did this already? I knew I thought it was a good idea...
