Ed, >To my horror, it's all text values stored in there of the actual Topic >Names.
No, it's the topic _ID_. >This seems highly inefficient, but more importantly, I wonder, what happens >when a Topic Name is changed by the Admin? Changing the topic ID may result in a few broken links, e.g. when somebody used them in a story. Also, Google seems to follow these links on occasion. There's no real problem with the topic IDs being stored as they are, though. If you change the ID, the old ID in the user's settings will remain there until the next time they change their settings. And since the topic doesn't exist any more, it won't send out any emails for it either. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/
