I'd like to see cLive_:-)'s suggestion included alongside the new table of contents. As cLive points out, the menu is removable in user prefs. However I love the idea of setting a maximum number of records for each or every section on the page. I don't often use Newest Nodes but each time I do I get a list of thousands of new posts.

I'd prefer being able to set each section separately .. as I'm mainly interested in root nodes and not at all interested in new users (don't get me wrong, you just don't have anything on your home node yet and I've not met you. I'll look later .. promise!) Thus I'd set my settings to show me the most recent 30 in SoPW and 10 in most of the other sections with 0 new users. This would mean that the database only has to fetch these latest records for me and it means I never have to click the 'I've checked these' button if I don't want to.

That said, I could put up with at least a global setting so that I can set it to 20 to view the most recent 20 in every category.

Thanks for all the work you're doing!
