now that wincustomize2 has the ability to jump to the last post in a thread that you have read, i am wondering if the message board can be made even faster.
since each post in a thread has some form of ID number (it turns up at the end of the URL), if there are more than say 50 posts in a thread, and you have already read this thread, can only the last 50 threads be loaded initially?
when this happens have a link to get the full thread.
and for threads you havent read before just load all of it.
this idea is perhaps best aimed at the new skinbrowser.
is it feasable? it should both spead things up and cut down on bandwidth usage, so it sounds good on paper.
