Okay ... I got it.

It is listed in my search only to me ... and then in the thread it ony shows the first 97 characters .... so if I am down the list a ways, I will not see my name on the thread but can presume I am on the list.

Sorry to be slow on the uptake.

Great feature to allow so many names in the BUMP of one ... but one of the good things about the old system was that it kept the thread appearing at the top of the list, so more people could see it over time. Of course, we can still accomplish that with this system, while doing the other (which we couldn't do before).

Way to go!

This won't affect the Bump-to-the-Top Effect that much. Since bump-lists are usually posts in rapid succession, they tend to only monopolize the Latest Posts page for a minute, and then drop off unless the thread is periodically bumped.

This just allows for less clutter. Periodic and strategic bumping will still allow for one to keep a thread bumped to the top.

I think, anyway. Here's to hoping someone backs me up on this.
