   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.

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 substantially.

But it would be useful to maybe have another page somewhere other than the front page (My Favourite Groups?) which allows this customisation, so I’m following up to the suggestions group.
