I'm always in a good mood, even when I'm not. :) I'm finishing up the curriculum for my class at Pace and I'm very happy with how it looks. It'll piss off the OO/Frameworks purists but who cares (they already look down on my attitude). It's a hands on CF class that teaches debugging in the first 2 hours.

That would be cool! Ignore new messages as in not seeing them in the archive only or as in no longer getting mail from them? The latter is actually easier than the former. This all sounds like a great opportunity to use some of the CF Ajax stuff. A user sees his lists. Clicking on one will get him the latest threads for the list in question. Clicking on a thread will show the messages. All of this in cfdiv blocks. 3 blocks, one on top of the other. The first is the lists which will scroll to show which the user is subscribed to and options. When another block is opened then the first will shrink to a smaller size. The second will have the list of threads selected from the first block. When a thread is selected, the same shrink will go into effect as the third block opens. Let me finish installing some new software on my machine for testing and then I'll build a fast example app. Just for fun. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
