"About the only enhancement I can really think I'd like, would be something like Browsemaster's 100+ post fetching"

Hmmm... That's an interesting idea. And there're some benefits to me that aren't immediately obvious to the casual reader. Since "Next10" is a subscriber-only feature, bumping up the number doesn't have any impact whatsoever on ad-viewing hits.

And if people are viewing messages in larger batches, they're sending fewer page requests to the webserver, reducing the load on the CPU. Sure, it'd bump up the bandwidth utilization a little, but I've got a huge amount of that but only so much CPU horsepower.

Hmmmm, indeed...

FYI, viewing messages in batches of 10, 20, 50, or 100 is now a new feature. Took about an hour.

Kinda unique when half the company is the guy in charge of all the geek stuff and he still likes to hang out on his alma mater. :)

I've got an upgrade that would make me happy...Spell check that actually replaces the words you select. I'm such a dork sometimes...can't think of the proper spelling to save my life. LOL!


Right after I put in the spell-check, I started trying to put something together that'd at least show each typo in a list and give the most likely correct word, but no luck. I tabled it after several fruitless hours and no luck finding a way to do it. I'm sure I'll revisit it later. Dictionary.com is able to do it, so it's at least possible. Unless their database includes every possible misspelling <sp?> of a word, there's got to be an acceptable way to do it and I'll figure it out eventually.

Mike...I little spellcheck tip.

When I'm writing a message and it's longer than a few sentences, I click on the email icon at the top of IE...choose new message and write whatever. Then use the spell checker in the Outlook Express email window. Then do a Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V copy and paste. Then kill the OE message.
