"What I'd like is a way of prioritizing crosslinks"

Having a 'secret' priority rating of 1-5 or 1-10..... oh no!!!, what a can of worms will THAT be? :-) And who will start passing judgemnts then? :-)


"I was thinking the five longest threads might be safer...."

Hah! now I know how to get MY favourite 5 threads on top of that dropdown box... ;-)


"crosslinks be in a dropdown menu"

A dropdown box is a good idea, but there is one drawback...
I like to keep the original page open when I go to the cross links - if that dropdown box means that the current page is overwritten with the new page, then I would need to have 2 copies of the page open, one to get the new page and one for keeping the current page in sight... this may increase the load on the Cat server!

If however the selection of the item in the dropdown box opened a new page, that would make me happier, but doubtless others may then not be happy....
