... to put the name of the last person to post to a particular thread next to the thread name on the New Answers page (where by "how difficult" I mean "would it have an adverse effect on the query plan and bring down the server")?

Any particular reason for this, other than asshole-avoidance?

― Pashmina (curiouser) (Pashmina), Thursday, 22 December 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

is there a better reason?

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 22 December 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

that's what I was wondering!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 22 December 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

asshole avoidance is an excellent reason!

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 22 December 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

This is purely about asshole avoidance.

What is to stop assholes from posting in every thread?

So the actual question is "How do I get Blog View to show me all of the threads on New Answers and not show me the text of all the latest posts"

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 27 December 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

That's what Blog View is supposed to do IIRC.

Hence the name "Blog View"

I really think it's unfair that you are blaming these problems on ILX, actually.

Is that what blog view does? *checks* Wow! I just kind of assumed it was useless and never looked at it.

― Dan (Christmas Miracle!) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 19:42 (twenty years ago)

Okay, so can we add a setting that lets you choose which new answers view is used for the "New Answers" link?
