'Sort threads different' is already on the requests list. In the mean time, may I suggest selective subscription? I'm using that and message center instead of Read New, and posting in the wrong place less often.

I just started trying the subscribing option. I'm still trying to figure out which threads interest me, though. So I've only subscribed to two things.

I'm taking the baby steps approach to the Buffista life.

Easier than jumping in at the deep end. I do wonder if there shouldn't be a line in the 'how to' section which says 'Don't worry if you don't cope with it all at first. It's very big and strange, not to mention shiny, and it can dazzle you to begin with.'

It may already, of course, and I've just forgotten, despite being quite the newbie.

"Specific Natter" needs a new name.

Pointy Natter?

"Sheltered Natter Bays"

I have this thread/water thing going on.

Natturnal Emissions?

I think there is a slightly different order that someone proposed on WX. I will look when I have a chance.

This is what I was thinking of

There is more discussion, and I think another order later.

Here's a rough go at suggesting an organization (and it feels like this should this be in bureaucracy - but it seems to have moved here):

Notes: I split the Bitches' stuff between general and specific natter. It may be that the bitches would like all their stuff under one header. I don't know. Fic writers and writers in The Great Write Way might also want a separate category. For now, I was trying to keep to as few categories as possible.

I'd like to see a subdivide called The Joss Stuff containing all the ME stuff, including spoilers and Jossverse. That's the core of why we got here, after all.
