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

The profile is easy to update. Maybe it would be even easier if the list of threads was separated into NAFDA and non-NAFDA.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Alibelle just posted the following in Natter:

(There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire...) Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife... You're not

This little upper right quote is missing a little piece. Who do I tell?

That quote is 254 characters long. Methinks the field in the database has a 255 maximum size? The quote needs to be shortened or removed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No ... it doesn't have a limit. There are longer quotes in there. I fixed it.

Damn! I was so sure.....
Maybe whoever gave the source to you was using software that had a field size limit? Maybe?

254 is very seductive, isn't it? I think that quote came from John. Want we should blame it on him?

Oh, yes, absolutely.

I don't really get the "read new" feature. From when I've tried it, I assume it's taking me to the most active thread of all those to which I've subscribed (um...almost all - I like keeping my options open).
I just go to whichever thread is catching my eye. Clicking on a thread takes me to the new posts anyhow. Am I missing something about "read new"? Why for all the subscribing and un?

Read New saves you a click. Instead of seeing a message in Firefly, then clicking on the Firefly thread, you click Read New and it takes you to a message. It's more useful when things are slow in Natter or after you've caught up. I have Read New bookmarked so I can see what's new with a couple keystrokes.

I can't seem to control which thread with new posts that it takes me to, though. I think I'm missing something. I checked the faq type links for a refresher when we migrated, but don't remember seeing anything. I think the filk made me laugh so hard I forgot everything else. Did I miss it?
eta...
When I checked, this was all I found:
To check subscriptions in all your threads, you can use the "Message Center" option to check for new messages in your subscribed threads, or you can use the "Read New" link to check for new posts in all your threads.
