Would it be possible, in the bright and shiny future, to have the option of choosing within which thread yis want to be searching? WX allowed you to do that once you were in that specific thread. I love the all threads/subbed thread thing but I'm subscribed to so many threads it's tricky.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can't seem to control which thread with new posts that it takes me to, though. I think I'm missing something.
No, you're not missing anything. Read New takes you to new messages, wherever they happen to be. Message Center is for when you want to decide which thread to read when.
I just got a quote in the corner that just said, "Buffy, Becoming (II)" without any actual quote there.

Really? Cause I was there today searching for something and searched the whole folder not each topic.
I love the search feature here, even if I can't ever search for instances of my name.

You can search the whole folder, or the thread you are in. You have to choose. There are radio buttons.
t edit What's with that name, anyway? "Radio buttons"?

Radio buttons are like the ones that car radios use to have, with the preset stations. They were partly mechanical, so that only one could be pushed in (to select it) at a time.
Next I will explain to you why we "dial" the telephone.

Comes from car radios that used to have these plastic buttons along the bottom that you could program to individual stations. If one was pushed in, none of hte others would work. When you pushed in another button, the one that had been pushed in popped out. It means that only one at a time can be chosen, and you change it by clicking on one of the options.
Edit: Darn your fast fingers, Theo.

I'd be interested in multiple message centers, but not to the point of panicking if we didn't get them. I'd find subscribing/unsubscribing easier if there were 'select all' / 'deselect all' buttons, and could edit my sub list from that point onward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita! Could there, pretty please, be links to that absolutely fabulously wonderful search engine? Like, maybe in the threads and the message center? Pretty please, fabulous one?
