Multiple message center settings, so you wouldn't have to unsub before a show if you're on the Left Coast.

My head explodes to think on it, but I admit I haven't thought very hard (mostly because I'm picking up pieces of my skull from the floor).

My first (non destructive thought) is that Sunday afternoon I uncheck two threads, Sunday evening I recheck. Ditto Tuesday, ditto Friday. Which would mean I'd need 4 message centre settings to cover this, which is about as much (user) work as unchecking and rechecking.

I think it's more that we have the exact phrase "firefly spoilers", instead of "firefly" and "spoilers" in completely different sections of the page.

I hate to say this, but the exact phrase "angel spoilers" also appears on the front page. The thread is "Buffy and Angel SPOILERS"....

Right, but "Firefly spoilers" has a much smaller pool of relevant results to compete with.

People who want multiple message center: we have that capability now. Simply get yourself a Yahoo or Hotmail address or other free email address different from the one with which you are currently regisitered. Create a new user name.Voila, new user name, new profile, new message center. Lather, rinse and repeat as needed.

No. Please don't start registering multiple times. Four per west coaster? No ... I'll write the code. I'll work something out.

Nope. That's more of a PITA, and throws things off if you want to post and then peeps have to keep track of you and things are confusing... Okay, also, somewhat squicked by the notion of multiple log-ins for anything but Sang Sacre stuff.

For the record, I'm sub'd to everything except the Atlantic Canada thread, (edit:) and don't unsub, as I don't use Read New, and mostly brought it up as a subtle "Topic! Topic!" thing. And, well, cause I thought it might be a neat feature.

When it gets to a certain hour, I just don't look at the relevant thread. Though I get a decent gauge of what kind of ep it is by how fast the new messages mount up. Or does this have to do with people clicking on Read New instead of just Message Center?

That's exactly it, Connie.

I get the impression that this feature is a "nice-to-have" but there are other v2.0 features that most folks would want more.

Could someone explain to me what the feature is exactly? Am I interpreting the need for 4 different message centre profiles for your average west coast poster who watches everything? I really don't see how (as a user) that would make my life any easier. I just went and unchecked two threads from my profile that I will recheck at 9pm Pacific, and I keep clicking Read New just like before.

The more I think about it, the more insanely complex it sounds, and therefore, falls under the category of featurebloat.
