We finally put a whoa on the "racing from one side of the family to the other every holiday" thing, and went to my sister's tonight for a combined birthday dinner (my son, me, and sort-of my mom, though we'll probably take her out again this weekend), but otherwise stayed home. This gave me time to, as you'll have noticed if you read on-site, do serious damage to the stylesheet. It needed done, though... we had cases of invisible links because headers used the visited color too often. The color bars will be back in some form, but only after I've had time to work out the combinations a little better. I also have an undocumented feature: pursuant the whole click-through-levels issue, I added a new URL format to the topics, so you can go to (for instance) http://forum.wirebird.com/topic/gamehawk without adding any specific topic, and you get all the topics. That's going to need some format work, especially right now without the color bars, but mostly it's useful for the Atom/RSS flavors: http://forum.wirebird.com/topic/gamehawk/index.rss and http://forum.wirebird.com/topic/gamehawk/index.atom (append "?summary=yes" if you want the summary feed... another undocumented feature). This is different from http://forum.wirebird.com/group/gamehawk in that the group is the collection of topics. I should make a pretty graphic to demonstrate all this. Right now the LJ syndication at "gamehawk_news" points to /group/gamehawk/index/.rss?summary=yes, but I can change that if whoever is subscribed there wants to (either to the all-topics, or the full-text version).
