Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a little tiny technical question: Is the thread width different in different threads? Because I notice sometimes the MARK thing wraps under my name, and sometimes it doesn't.
Not an issue, just wondering if it's my imagination, or a quirk, or a feature, or what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It'll also depend on the width of the time and the post numbers.

A-HA! I thought of user name width, but not the other stuff.
It all comes clear...
You know, I never wondered about the teeny details of the other boards like this.

I have a question. How hard would it be to force Beep Me to be the first thread read with Read New? As it is now, I hit Read New, go through Natter, and then get to Beep Me and the actual news.
No biggie, obviously. Just a thought.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The thread width is variable depending upon the width of you browser window, but shouldn't vary from thread to thread.
edit: Yeah, what ita said.

Dana, it occurred to me that what I should do is just click Beep Me instead of Read New when I first get on.
(Of course, I haven't actually implemented this plan yet, but I did think of it.)

Well, yeah, but shouldn't the world order itself to my convenience?
What do you mean "no"?

Oh of course. I'm still bitter it can't intuit what I mean to type, instead of what my fingers actually type.

It would be nice to be able to assign Beep Me, and perhaps Press, priority over the other threads. WX sort of allowed you to do this, which is why Beep Me and Press were always at the top of the thread list.
