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

That covers the "reply count" column but not the "last updated" column for previous days.

Max(timestamp), max(struct(timestamp, author)).col2 where date_tz = that day

Still requires two queries, per post, instead of just one for each, as it is currently, which is itself much worse than "one for all", and is more than copy and paste.

Edit: Actually probably not. I hadn't really looked at it. But it is still more than copy and paste.

Not-really-serious feature request:

Unread list view which shows only threads with at least some larger-than-1 number (e.g. 10) of replies (or which are marked complete or such). To reduce the thing where you check back and there are lots of posts with 1 reply and you could read them all or you could wait but they're SITTING THERE TEMPTING YOU AND CLUTTERING THE LIST.

(Two more cases of thread openedness not sticking; both recently created threads with less than a page of replies.)

I think that would be better as one of the filters for the eventual search mechanism.

My hide preferences:

A post/continuity is hidden:
  • don't show it on the unread page
  • have it dimmed on the reports page the way it is now
  • if i go to the continuity directly or the author's page, I can see the thread and the green arrow works to keep track of how much I've read
I want to hide the MWF because all of the posts in it make it too hard to read through Reports to find new glowfic threads that I might be interested in because MWF is really spammy. But I still might want to read a thread or two in there occasionally and have my place kept in that thread.

I think I might want to just hide it anyway but then it'll make all the threads read up to the point where I hid it and if I ever want to try to read it, it won't hold my place, and I don't want to do anything irrevocable and since the "threads get marked as partially read" part of hiding is irrevocable then I don't want to hide.

It should be possible to save drafts of top-level posts, so you can compose a top-level post on a mobile device and not lose all your progress whenever you switch apps/tabs.

I have been seeing a lot more of the thing where I read a thread and then it appears unopened instead of partly or fully read. It seems to only happen to threads where I just opened and read beginning to end, not ones which I am following as they have been updating over days.
