I thought that Read New would bring up the thread that had the most recent post, time-wise?

it comes up last if you use Read New.

I must be forgetting the code. It used to be that recency determined the order things came up with Read New too.

I'll have to go look.

Really? Huh. I'm pretty sure that's not my experience. For instance, Un-American or Jossverse in Other Media consistently come up first for me if there are any new posts there.

There are occasionally notices and natter in Press that don't seem to fit the official Press definition, but it's only a minor irritation to me.

Natter in Press is stomped as a matter of policy.

Notices that don't find generally wind up with someone in here (usually someone for whom Press and Beep Me are the only places they check, so, old Buffistas with no time for the board) bringing up the irritation factor.

I'm not much around the other threads. Who are the old Buffistas not much around who have been irritated by it? Sincerely, because AFAIK, the people who have posted about being irritated are around a lot.

Me. I'm around here and some other right hand threads and I'm around Tim's thread. But I actually I don't have as much time to be around as I used to and I find the press announcements for death matches irritating.

Okay, because I didn't know that you weren't around a lot (though I also don't remember you mentioning the irritation before).

I used to be around a lot. I'm not now. I'm mainly here and in Tim's thread, except on show nights. Occasionally, I pop to the end of something if I get a moment. This is a short-term time thing, that should at some point clear up. But the last couple months have been frantic as all hell.

But the first time I remember someone popping in and mentioning the irritation with Press content (pre-Deathmatch, IIRC), it was Jengod. (And the content in question was the "so and so died" variety.)

It makes sense, Elena, that you wouldn't know I'm not here a lot, because we don't frequent the same threads usually.

But I did mention my feelings about the death match announcements here: Kat "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" Feb 25, 2004 4:40:00 pm PST (please excuse the grammar issue of subject-verb agreement in that post! I was in the middle of working on a big project and my brain was mostly dead)

Okay, Kat. I had a bunch of posts to catch up on, and obviously blanked on who posted what and when. I was not questioning your veracity.
