Thanks for the heads up.
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

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

Stupid lo-pri question: how hard would it be to put a live link back to the message center at the end of every threadsuck?

Not hard at all. But I'd think the front page a better bet than the message centre, no?

Either way. Just a link back somewhere.

It's a static change, should be no big.
What brought it to mind?

I'm threadsucking daily again, what with being dark during the day, and I'm lazy.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
You could even include the whole Read New-Message Center-First-Last-Recent toolbar at the bottom.

I designed the threadsucked page with the idea that it could be read offline. As such, it has no links back to the board. I kind of like it that way, aesthetically speaking, but otherwise have no strong objections to adding a link back to the front page.
One note: the link should be an absolute reference, not a relative one.

As someone who is never, unless there's an outage, offline, and who uses threadsuck daily to catch up, it's really frustrating to not have a link back.
Edited to add: just user feedback, sorry if it sounds bitchy.

I often read threadsucks online to follow links that people post. I think people would use all the toolbar links at the bottom. Those who suck one thread at a time would click Message Center, those who catch up by searching for their name would click Recent, those who read Bitches and then everything else would click Read New.
