The idea of force-wrapping text to suit isn't a good one, but I'd be happy with the principle of indenting the slugs, it's a much better solution if they're going to get long.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

... Would there be some possible way, some day, of being able to mark some posts as unread? You know, like you read them, but you ask it to and it forgets that you read them, so they're later presented as new. I'd really like that, but tell me if it's just silly.

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
I'm sometimes afraid to click to links in threads I subscribe to for fear of screwing up Read New.
I didn't even remember there was a thread-division discussion on WX. Now my hash tastes like rehash.

Posts can only be marked unread from post #x to the end of the thread. The idea of being able to "reset" how far you've read a particular thread was broght up at some point and is definitely doable. As long as you don't mean unmarking non-consecutive posts, or a block of posts in the middle of a thread, because that's insane troll logic.

Yup, that's what I'd meant.
Shininess.

I'd like a "welcome" image on the front page somewhere which lists/scrolls new membernames as they register. Just for fun, really. Like the quote, but just saying: "Buffista registration #54343 - Jim'zaHOTTIE! - Welcome!" on each page.

My guess is that not all users neccessarily want to be "welcomed". They like to lurk.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Right. Do not startle the Buffistas...

We should shine a light into their dark lurking places! Or not, actually. Good point. Still, it would've been cool.

I'm thinking especially of V.I.P.'s.
