Would be better if it went to your favorite forums.. I thought, "Hey, maybe this is the way to get back "in-context" when a search or a link gets you stuck on a single post with no way to return to the thread surrounding the post." But it's not. It always goes to the forum view as of today, no matter how many years old the post that you clicked from was. -- Optimized For Winblowz Mediocre Player®

That's a great example, because once I get there I can only go to the preceding thread or the following thread; I can't go "in context" like we used to be able to, a page at a time, by using the numbered page buttons at the bottom. When you click a link to a post, like the "Reply" link in IMs that you developed at my request, or a link returned from a search, you get just that one thread. There is no way to see the surrounding "temporal" threads. Now if the above examples of links took you to the same contextual view that the "chevron" (">>") does, it would be perfect -- Optimized For Winblowz Mediocre Player®

Johnny Premium join:2001-06-27 Atlanta, GA kudos:2	said by justin: Unless ou are seeing something different than me, when you look at the top of the page, you'll see a link AFTER the forum name... Right. That link, however, goes to the first post of the thread, not necessarily the context of the post we are coming from. I know it's picky, but on a 12-page thread where you want to see the context of a post on page 11 that you got to by clicking a link, the format of the URL that is used in the "chevron" feature is perfect, in that it puts you right on the page with the referenced post in front of you. Try copying and pasting a chevron link into the address bar and you'll see what I mean. Now compare with the link from, for example, one of the returned items of a search. -- Optimized For Winblowz Mediocre Player®

justin Australian join:1999-05-28 New York, NY kudos:7 Host: IPv6 Business Connectiv.. Console/Handheld g.. Home/Office setup .. Photos of Broadban..	the chevron link is no good, because it is a # link, and only useful if the number of posts per page, and the start-at post, means that it can find the post in a given slice of the topic. I'm not going to waste server time on constructing a pagination list with a yellow highlight indicator (means fetching the ENTIRE topic and sorting it, and finding where this post fits in) just on the off chance the viewer might click there. I fear that until i win a lottery and buy a couple more 64bit mysql servers, you are just going to have to put up with clicking on the topic, then if it has more than 1 page (rare - especially if you set your PPP higher than default), clicking next page a couple of times.

justin Australian join:1999-05-28 New York, NY kudos:7 Host: IPv6 Business Connectiv.. Console/Handheld g.. Home/Office setup .. Photos of Broadban..	It isn't sarcasm, I'm being entirely straight forward. Some things that people think are very compute intensive, are very easy, and vice versa. The posts database, all of it, is online, and open to anyone. The indexes to this database and how they are used, are the single largest factor in overall site performance. One 64bit mysql server is on order, it will cost over 10 grand ("your tool points at work"), and is needed now.
