So if you had new messages in a thread in the tv folder, would you be able to see it from the message center? Or would you have to open the tv folder first to see that there are new messages there?

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Let's not derail this discussion with folder functionality -- this discussion belongs in the BBaBB++ folder -- want to reask there?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
OK, more about my pitch for Veronica Mars. There have been a couple of comments about it being a break with genre, which I kind of understand, but profoundly disagree with. What VM has in common with Buffy and (early, funnier) Angel is the way it uses genre tropes to reflect and illuminate a straight drama or even soap world. That, to me, is the defining generic thing about Buffy, the root of why I loved BTVS, and why VM is much closer to it than, say, Lost.
the other comment I wanted to address is that we could wait until later in the season and see if interest fades. We could, obviously, but I'd rather have the thread, not least to encourage Buffistas who haven't watched VM to give it a go.

This is why I'd ask for a VM thread rather than, say, one for The Wire or Sopranos or Weeds.

I'll vote against the thread (sorry, Jim), but since the will of the people will be imposed anyway, I might as well not quibble.
I'll take my folder functionality beefs over to BaB.

I'm still anti-prolif, but I don't think I need to remind people of that, or bother trying to convince anyone that my way is the one true way.
Either I'm growing up, or getting more easily tired.

I'm still anti proliferation, liese. I don't care enough about VM or a VM thread however to argue, because I'm already aware that I'm in the minority so why tilt at proverbial windmills?
I will, however, be voting against it.

What ita said, pretty much. But consider my anti-proliferation flag waved.

I prefer my windmills tilted. But yeah, I know, guys. It's all cool, it's just funny to me.

I think that ship has sailed. With every new thread proposal, I personally get a little more weary of the debate.
