Do you have a setting, character, plot, art, or other notion that you wish to put on the Internet? This is the Internet! Whee!

I really like that unread links go to the last read post instead of the first unread post, thank you!

For the "distinguishing permalinks from Unread links" feature, how about making Unread be the fast forward arrow? Or maybe "New" U+1F195?

If template pages are now being used to show posts with instances of that template, can you make the template page visible to logged-out users? I thought it only had stuff that the author of that template would care about so haven’t asked before.

You know what should exist? A section on continuity pages where authors can put an "about this continuity" spiel like "How to read Effulgence" etc.

@DanielH fixed
@athiestcanuck put it on the list
@Ezra took a look at it but I'm worried it won't be consistent across browsers and on mine at least it's actually fantastic as a "Look this post has unread things!" indicator but it's not nearly as clear that it is what I click to see the aforementioned unread things xD
@Lambda I... am not sure I did that on purpose but I also like the theory so I might just not poke at it xD Glad you like it?

Also Throne found a bug with previewing posts related to tagging and fixed it.

Also-also I made a new content warning entitled 'shrens' Because Alicorn <3

EDIT: Testing out a "go to page" icon for unread at Kappa's suggestion. What do people think?

I am personally not a huge fan of the new unread link icon. For one thing, it widens every line of the unread page. Also it just strikes me as ... a little bit ugly.

I liked the idea of a fast-forward arrow (like, ">>"). Or would it be possible to use the same one from the forums?

I have no idea what the rights are on the tiny orange page icon that the forums use for an unread link.

The page with the green arrow came from here. How about one of these, from the same source:

Image Image Image Image Image

Personally I'm a fan of bullet_go Image and note_go Image. Note Image and new Image also have their merits.

The current unread icon is page_white_go Image, and the link icon that was previously used for unread is link Image.

I also like bullet_go and note_go. Either of those would make me happy.
