Hey, Todd, view this message in the Web interface and check out those little
blue squares at the bottom. I'm assuming that one could count those blue
squares and come up with the number of unique messages in this thread,
regardless of ng, right?
My question is: Are the number and position of those squared figured out every
time someone loads the page, or is it done when someone posts a new message to
the thread?
If it's the former and the state of the thread is unknown until viewing, is
there any way to keep a running total on thread size (based upon message
count)?
If it's the latter and the state is kept in a semi-persistent state file, how
easy would it be to enumerate those files and get a message count for the
longest thread on LUGNET?
Cheers,
- jsproat
