There are a whole lot of requests that people have made that I've completely forgotten to keep track of. I tend to prioritise by a) coolness to code or b) easiness to code, and that's no good.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

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

I'm comfortable having my last name used, actually -- I keep saying I'm going to reverse-engineer wireframes (information design schematics) from the GIFs I did and put them in my portfolio...

Speaking of requests -- there have been a couple requests to change the behaviour of the thread links on the RH column -- which take you only the last post of the thread in question.
I'd like to throw this up for some more feedback. I never want to read the last userpagelimit - 1 posts, and always scroll straight to the bottom every time I click on a link with no new posts. So, selfishly, I'm very happy that these don't make me have to do that.
I'd been assuming that since no one mentioned it until just a while ago, that it was accepted behaviour.
Is this true, or wishful thinking?

Thanks for all the fish.
If I want to find a specific post in a thread with no new posts I'll scroll back. Or, if I was smart, I'd bookmark it in the first place. Usually when I click on a thread with no new posts it's because I want to post something. It's easier to have just the last post on the page.

I'm in agreement with what Elena said. Also, when I'm at home on my slow dial-up, and trying to catch-up in Natter by having my posts-per-page limit set at 100, it is quite annoying to have to wait for a page of one hundred already read posts to load.

I like having the context of the last bunch of posts, rather than just the last one.
Whatever is decided, I think it should be consistent between the main threads and the ones on the right side.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I lean this way too, though it doesn't cause me much distress. Consistency is a worthwhile goal regardless.

Absolutely.

Would you rather I put your last name back in? It'll take me less than a minute to change it back.

Nah, don't bother.
