Sigh... for once I thought registering an opinion was enough rather than qualifying it.

To me it just seems to allow the crap to float to the top, and making it too easy to ignore older threads.

What I think will happen is that a few threads (which at the moment you have size limiter on) will just grow fat and gross and stick around for longer than is healthy.

Ah, well, as usual I'm in the taste minority.

Wake,
Have to say I'm with PVS on this one.  Can't find the threads I'm looking for very easily.  All new posts make the thread title glow red on my computer, and I'm guessing they do on everyone elses... isn't that enough to see where the new posts are?

Sorry to grumble.

Oddboy.

P.S.  Thanks for Judgement on Gotham - got it yesterday!

Fair enough. I've added a new command in the chat room. If you type /bbsorder2 the message index will return to thread order.

Got to say, didn't bother to read this thread before. But I prefer it like this.

And that ain't just because PVS doesn't.

Well, it might be a bit.

will /bbsorder1 sort the messages in date order?
Cheers

The default is 'date order' so you only need to type /bbsorder1 if you have changed to thread order and want to change back.

Isn't hiding in the sewers a little smelly?

Can't you afford a proper hideout, Peevs?

You know full well my Adamantine Palacial Lair (supplied with haernogen tactical missiles) was destroyed in a freak mollusc storm.  Some would say that mollusc storm was far from a natural occurance...

And do not call me Peevs, my full title is Predatory Violent Slaughterman, or simple PVS.

A.K.A. Slaughterman Jack, the Subterranean Slicer.

Wood?  Ahem, is that an ironic title?
