Right now, the links that lead to the threads themselves open up the complete thread. This might put more load then neccessary on the hosting servers of Kareha based message boards. I suggest switching over to 2ch's way where all the links on the top of the frontpage of each ita and on subback automatically append a l50 to themselves.
I was thinking about that recently. No boards are really big enough right now for this to be a real problem, but it might be a good idea.
Anyone else have an opinion on this?
If I click on an old thread that I know I haven't read before, then have to click yet again to read the entire thread, wouldn't that also be a waste of bandwidth?
How about splitting the links into two portions, a full view and a tail view, like with the first couple of threads on each board?

Yes, but a smaller one.

How'd you do that in detail, though?

Numerical portion links to Entire Thread, text portion links to Last 50?
Like on this board, if you click on "1." in the topic list, you get the Entire Thread view of this thread. But if you click on "【Kareha】 Automatic l50", you would just see the last few posts of this thread if there were more than $REPLIES_IN_THREAD posts in total.
> text portion links to Last 50?
Right now, this links to the specific # anchor of the frontpage, though. In your example, this function would get lost, no?
Only if you're clicking on one of the threads recent enough to be on the front page. >>1 seemed mainly concerned with links to older threads and links in the All Threads list.
With regard to threads featured on the front page, it's fairly straightforward to click on the topic of interest, scroll down a bit, then click Last 50 replies from there if you've missed anything since the most recent replies shown.
