>Anyhow FWIW -- the only problem with 'see entire thread' is the limit of 60 (?) messages -- which sometimes means you really can't get anything out of it, if its a popular thread (especially if a bunch of extraneous stuff gets put into the thread that doesn't really belong there).
The limit should probably be there, for whatever reasons, but I'd apply it in a different manner: if a thread is too long, then show the last 50 messages, or 50 messages starting with current message minus 20. This way, if a thread really is too long, we can pick the interesting parts in the end, to see who won the game :).
Just a word of recommendation: there's no limit in downloading a whole thread using UT Navigator, so I actually don't have that problem. I also noticed some increased speed of download with UT Nav 2.0 (or is it the fewer messages and my more frequent logging in during the summer?).
