On the Traffic Page you color code the numbers to indicate recent posts. This would be a great feature to implement in the dots of the message tree display. Something along the lines of different color dot for messages of ages less than 1 day old, (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I wanted to do that, but although you can temporarily override the LINK and VLINK color inline with <FONT COLOR=...>, you can't temporarily override them separately inline. (At least not to the best of my knowledge; maybe there's some CSS (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Well that's already astoundingly easy -- you just look at the color of the box. If it's blue*, you haven't been there yet. If it's purple**, you've already been there. --Todd * or whatever your LINK color is configured to ** or whatever your (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Which is fine, IFF your using the same computer each time. If you hop between work, 2 desktops at home, a laptop, & the in-laws PC it's not as reliable. Brian (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Rather than color coded, perhaps shape encoded (squares, circles, triangles, etc...) would be easier to implement. You still have issue (b), but bandwidth for a few small images is minimal. I don't follow the log bloat issue, but assume it is (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

Looks like someone has my problem :) But to provide a serious bit of input, I suspect that the inconvenience of longer download (because the extra graphics would suck bandwidth) would be greater (for me) than (...)

James Brown: (...) Hmm. It would be cool if the server could remember the exact time of your last visit at the end of your browsing session. That way, if you went to a different machine, you could say, "OK, here I am again, but I'm at a different (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

What I would like is to distinguish the notion of machine and person... I have multiple machines and may be at any of them. Other people in my family also use any or all of them. This is where cookies don't do the whole thing, inasmuch as they are (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hmm, I must be misunderstanding your meaning -- that sounds contradictory. If person A in your family logs in and does stuff, then person B logs in instead and does stuff, then that's two different people using the same machine (two different (...)

Didn't explain myself well. Comes from talking too fast.
