    IMHO a Good Idea!!

    As it seems to take the equivalent of a mini ice-age to load even the smallest of threads (something to do with outer-tables according to Parksie) would it not be a good idea to have little Reply tags next to the thread subjects in the thread list?

    I often already know what the last reply is (if I go to find something out for example and nobody has replied since - or i'm looking at a week-old thread), it would be nice just to have to click Reply rather than waste 10 minutes making a cup of coffee, watching EastEnders and still have time for a shower (okay, I made all those up ) opening up the thread.

    Look at the attchment if you don't know what I mean...

    Anyway, I think it's a reasonably good idea IMHO

    Ahh, so, I guess that's where you get all your extra money


    Erm, although the threads load in under 3 seconds for me, I too think that is a good idea...

    Says Mr. Cable!!! (i'm guessing...maybe ASDL...surely not 56k...)

    Anyway, this little 3 poster took 5 seconds...and as everyone who uses the internet knows, 5 seconds is about 4.5 seconds too long!!

    My poor 56k modem does it in 10 seconds or more
    And it's even incompatible with Win2K!
    I HATE MY MODEM!

    Obviously I agree that it's a good idea
