Nit 1: Can you give me both a forward range, and a backward range? when on
300-349, there's nothing to go backward a chunk. And make the chunk size match
what chunk size you're showing, in both directions (except don't go below 1,
of course, in the reverse direction...)  (1)

I was thinking of putting those at the top & bottom of the table-listing as
"more..." for each direction, plus keeping the forward at the top...sound
ok?


Nit 2: While viewing an article, can you give me both a post AND a followup
"button"? (2) As it is now, I have to go to an article list to get a post
button. Sometimes I don't want to post in the same thread, I may have thought
of something that starts a new thread. For example this nit really ought to be
a new thread by itself as it's not related to Nit 1.

oops, this was an oversight.  And to think I wrote code to make sure it
displayed one or the other and not both.  :-p


1 - hrm.. there may be weirdness in doing that chunk sizing... if I am using a
chunk of 20, and walk back from 10-30 to 1-10, is the forward chunk size now 10
instead? Not a big issue but does mess with ones sensibilities, especially if
you're as A-R as me.

interesting


2 - and make the graphics different, of course. (3)

natch  :)


3 - Which reminds me, are those copyrighted images?

Yes, all original works.


Your terms of use page
should probably explicitly deny use of these images (and the LUGNET logo,
although I'd LOVE to use it on a link back here from my pages) without express
consent.

Good idea.

BTW, we're thinking about what to have in a special GIF for linkage and
stuff.


Or are the images themselves copylefted?

No.  They're copyrighted.
