But when I click "Read New" it doesn't pull up the admin threads.

You need to subscribe for read new to pull it up.

My reading of this is that it works, but people don't like how, not that it doesn't work. Am I correct, or are there bugs I need to be tracking too?

Were you deliberately trying to have the admin threads show up in the center column of the Message Center? If not, it's a bug.

Is this related to adding folders, or something else?

Not counting your unread posts, DX, since you said it was happening before.

Yup. I only mentioned it because it had just happened, but it's something that I've been noticing for awhile.

Yes, but yesterday when I was subscribed to BBaBB, for example, it was not located in the list of subscribed threads in my message center but stayed on the side of the screen. When I clicked "Read new" it would pull me to the admin threads if needed.

I'm just basically echoing everything others have said this morning about the admin threads showing up in the message center lists.

That's what the code was meant to do, yes, as stated upthread. As a fix, it's undesired behaviour, but it's just following my orders -- I'm the buggy one, not the code.

Is this related to adding folders, or something else?

It's not adding folders, exactly, since the right hand column has been composed of two folders the whole time. It's just trying to achieve consistency in the handling of folders, plus adding the ability to nest folders.

This aspect of the consistency? Undesired, and I'm working on how to remove it.

The subscribe/Read New relationship hasn't changed. The only thing that has is that now subscribed-to admin threads appear in the Message Center with the other subscriptions.

(Which, thinking about it, is a more logical way of things to be, but I find the duplicate thread listings more distracting than not.)

Yes, beathen -- I understand that, as noted. I just wasn't sure if you intended to not have it pull up in Read New anymore.

Got ya.

(The slowness I mentioned earlier seems to have been on my end, btw. The whole internet is now back up to speed.)

I've only just starting to use the Read New function so I didn't really think about how it was supposed to work. I get what I'm getting at is this:

I like having the admin threads on the right side, not in the message center, but I also like when I Read New and get pulled to the admin threads if there is a new post.

So, we're supposed to have COMM in our Message Center now?
