A few bugs fixed. A few more features added. Almost ready for prime time.

Take a look and email me with your comments. If you are using it and would
like to be linked to as an "example" site please send me the url.

The idea is to make sure the release works and then submit it for cataloging
on Zope.org.

Thanks,
J

This would be possible but I think it would be confusing to the user 
(posts would jump to the top). See below...

And instead of just having the number of messages in a thread in
brackets at the end of the thread header, also include the last date, or
the number of new messages since the visitor last was at the ZUBB (
since you're using a persistent cookie )?

I would love to add the ability to include the "last viewed" cookie 
feature. I will add it to the future feature list.

The big thing on my plate though, is how to limit the amount of 
threads shown. Once you get beyond 100 or so I am worried about 
performance and download size. If anyone has any knowledge about 
limiting tree views that would be great.

Thanks,
J

I've customized Squishdot myself to add this feature, which is very useful
in collaborative work. The effect is that topics (threads) which have
ongoing activity stay near the top of the list. Threads that become quiet
slide down the list until they fall off the bottom. This serves to highlight
active discussions and works nicely in support of workgroups and committees.
I'd recommend that you make this an option in ZUBB.
