Of course there are > many things to do to make the threads more user friendly. We have been playing with the idea of normalizing the archive into an RDBMS. Some of the benefits are: * no need to update the threads database. It will always be updated. * Users can create, easily, their own thread logic with no impact on system performance. * Searching on normalized fields are many times faster, and much less costly in system resources. What I am missing, is the definition of what functionality is neccesary/existing/desired. The only information I have is from observing the UI and guessing what common sense would dictate. ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
