Nor to me. Even when I’m using the web interface, it takes a conscious
effort to visually parse the difference between the tag and the subject on
the forum index page. Except for the threads I’ve already visited. Then the
fact that the tag’s color doesn’t change with the subject when it becomes a
visited link, finally makes it stand out. But I rarely use the web side, and
it’s ‘really’ not obvious to me on the nntp side. ;-7

Not a bad kludge Carlos, But of course it only works when there ‘IS’ a link.
For example, in this thread posts by tsu2, deano ferrari, & nrickert have
such links. Whereas neither Jim Henderson’s nor any of yours do. I’m
thinking that means that both you, and Jim actually post on the nntp side,
And at the time of posting, the eventual link to the web side post ID isn’t
known to the nntp server, and can’t be included. Bet this post won’t have a
link either…
So until somebody from the webside replies to an nntp side thread, I guess
we’d have to open the relevant forum in the browser. and paste the subject
into the search forum web tool.
And that’s more pointy clicky bull dodo, than my keyboard oriented fingers
want to do, just to rule out the relevance of those threads that used to
belong in the separate tumbleweeds forum… <sigh>
By the way, I’m curious what an nttp side ‘Tumbleweeds’ user is supposed to
due, to include the ‘mandatory’ tags when starting a new thread?
Not that that will matter much to me personally. My primary PC needs an
Nvidia (non free) driver, which would make the bleeding edge nature of an
Opensuse rolling release, a little unstable on my machine…
