hi people(s),

I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I was prompted to by two things. First, I want to say how much I like the new Lugnet Design, with all the beautiful javascript functions ;). Congrats to the web design people!

Second, I was thinking about the Top Stories list. It’s a great idea, but it usually highlights only the MOC announcements. Often I come on Lugnet and look at a few messages, but I can’t get all the groups e-mailed to me, and Lugnet is so massive that I don’t really know where to go - it’s kind of hard to “browse.” What would be nice is a customizable top stories list, so that I could see the latest in several newsgroups of my choice at a glance, without spending the time to go through 6 different groups normally.

just a thought...

(...) I think this is made difficult because the top stories list (and much of the front page I think?) is cached, and re-generated regularly, to reduce server load. To allow a customisable list on the front page would increase that load (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
