However, it's sometimes an inconvenience. I prefer my threads expanded by default, and didn't switch until there was a preference to make it happen, so I feel your pain (altho on the other side). Have you fiddled with the checkbox for it under behavior (bottom of the Groups section)? From your description, I don't /think/ it does /quite/ what you are after (after all, I'm always trying to get it to go the /other/ way, if it gets flipped for some reason, so I'm not quite sure how the collapsed by default actually works, except that it's not the way I want it to!), but it's worth fiddling with, just in case. If I'm not mistaken, however, behavior if you collapse the thread with the keyboard (plus and minus keys) is a bit different than if you collapse it with the mouse. One way it "remembers better". It was a long time ago that I was fighting to get it to keep them open, before Charles added the preference to do so, and my memory is a bit fuzzy, but IIRC at least back then, the keyboard action kept the memory better than the mouse action, for some reason. Thus, try the keyboard for one or two and see if it remembers your preference. Even if it doesn't, hitting the "-" key is a lot faster than hand-to-mouse, aim it at the arrow, overshoot and backtrack, adjust position until it's right, then click. Those arrows are a bit small to hit just right, and the keyboard shortcut works rather better for me, since I discovered it, of course. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
