Always open to input. See the wish list at:

Here's a few more of mine. These are entirely newsgroup features, and
aren't necessarily high priority _or_ easy. But I would like to see 'em
get into at least the bottom of the wishlist somewhere.

-- Display identity-images (avatars, or whatever) by each post (in
    various sizes in the different views. I think this really aids in
    creating a sense of community. Not that we don't have one already.
    Plus it's fun.
-- Track read/unread articles, as you mention, but in more depth:
     - interface to show just unread, just read, or a mix (perhaps show
       just unread in the page view, but have all articles in the thread
       dots)
     - interface to mark posts and groups and ranges as read/unread
     - different colors for read/unread in the dot view
     - list of subscribed groups with unread posts
     - "inbox" of all new messages from subscribed groups (this might be
       a good place to highlight posts which are replies to your own)
-- Ability to create private newsgroups (or at least web groups and
    mailing lists, initially)
-- Strip out FTX (or rather, pretty-print) when displaying via NNTP
-- Put the lugnet.com (or .org) URL of each post in the headers of each
    message -- nice for utilizing the best of both interfaces

(...) OK, I went through the thread and compiled suggestions, and roughly prioritized them. The prioritization is based on my opinion of importance combined with feasibility. So, something important might appear lower simply because I know it will (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)
