Yes. It's one less call to the database.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes. It's one less call to the database.
Keeping this in mind, I've changed my board reading tactics. I pruned back my subscriptions to just the boards I want to read regularly through Read New. Previously, I used my subs as sort of a filter to pull up all the threads I'm even somewhat interested in and would check my Message Center and decide where to go. Now, I've got a tighter subs list and I'm embracing the randomosity of the ride. Where will Read New take me next?

Stop copying me. This is exactly what I did.

Should there be clearer or more prominant instructions on how to use the message center and/or subscribe to threads? I have seen several messages from people who don't even know what the message center does-- and that seems to mean that they don't know what subscribing to a thread does either.

Things like Bureacracy, though, and the other things on the right side aren't included in the Read New. Though I can see the advantage to not having to dig tnrough all the admin posts during tense times when you're just trying to follow Bitches.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

They are if you're subscribed to them.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Yeah, I use Read New and the side threads show up fine.

I like how you can put [link] in your Links folder and have one-click or keystroke access to what's new.
