in thread Help wanted on Recently Active Threads
I doesn't belong in that list. I had to supersearch to find this thread to find the doc — it's not like it's hard to see, but it's very well camouflaged by being the odd one out in the middle of an otherwise uniform list of things of a completely different type.
It needs to be visually distinct.
Mockup of a proposed interface:
Viewing Nodes As of: <<<< <<< << < Now
Mode: [Root and Node|V] [Switch] | More settings | How do I use this??Jump to Discussion | Questions | Meditations | Perl Announcements | Cool Uses For Perl | Categorized Questions | Snippets | Code Contributions
(The mode doodad is a dropdown+button here.)
That visually groups together the things that functionally belong together, and makes different things look different. The current look where a list of config options are all visible all the time and are simple links just like the long bunch of in-page anchors following them makes it hard to scan the area for units of functionality.
Makeshifts last the longest.
