I hate the end of the month.

Would it be better to show the last 30 days by default rather than calendar month?
Defo, first day of the month always confuses me. A rolling system, even if its just 10-15 days (as thats all that really matters) would be great.
What does PITA stand for? or do i really not want to know?

PITA - Pain in the `arris.
Remind me never to employ you as a divorce lawyer. 30 days is offered, and you bid DOWN to 15?

I'm used to it already . . . 30 days? I would go mad. Scrolling from month to month is a good idea actually - although it takes some getting used to.
It also displays nice 'n tidy I'm posting on way too much topics . . .
The bookmark function comes in handy here: every month I add up a few.
My bottomline: let's keep it the way it is now.
Would this put less load on the system? (Since the server wouldn't have to order the posts by 'most recent' or whatever, it would simply flag up if there's new posts or not? :
Since when you view each thread it knows which posts are new (there's a little blue line then the new posts start), how hard would it be to have each thread listed in 'contributions' have NEW next to it, or be in bold, or highlighted in blue, or something to show if there are new posts in that thread, so that you don't have to check the threads yourself for new posts?
If that requires too much server load when you view your contributions page, then then the load could be spread/reduced by setting a 'flag' variable for each thread contributor, at the instant someone replies to a thread.
Make any sense? So we have person A,B,C,D posting on a thread, person A posts a reply, at that instant B,C,D have their contributions pages updated with the thread title in bold (for example).
(sorry if that's a dunce explanation!)
Should take little server load, though it will require a little extra flag checking if the contributions page is generated on-the-fly (but not as much as checking thru and sorting every thread there and then).
