In tandem with this is a problem I’ve been having with large threads that I *do*
want to read. When I click on “dots” I get the thread tree, but I can’t see
where I just came from! Is it possible to record the source-post of the request
for “dots” and replace it with a star, as it does in the inline version of the
thread tree?
Alternately, perhaps the cutoff for size of a thread for suppression of the dots
to occur can be either set by the user or raised as a whole? I know bandwidth
is an issue for the servers, but I do rather like that “dots” display and it
becomes utterly useless once it’s suppressed because of the above problem with
orienting oneself.
Hey, what with all the zombie movies out right now, can you ever be sure it’s
really dead...?
