I don't mean to be sour, but why not use just one topic/thread for the jokes, rather than starting a new topic for each one?!
Having to read them all separately one by one, tends to give me the pip , as well as being a disincentive.

Jokes often have fruitful replies and it is best to keep individual branches so that any discussions can be followed. It worked well for TMF.

Looking at the available smilies, why is there one lime among the lemons?

Re: An idea
A long time ago on the Fool I enquired whether posts could be sorted by length as well as chronologically, most recc'ed, etc. My enquiry was met with contemptuous silence
The reason I enquired was because I prefer short, very short even, jokes as they are the only ones I ever seem to manage to tell my friends in a half-decent manner (cf. shih tzu joke) .
Although I'm sure there are some downsides that I haven't considered I would welcome I think a subdivision for one-liners. I could imagine another for squiffy's long shaggy dog stories.
Regards,
Chris
OJ: You could have a subdivision for squiffy's fiver-yearly just-old-enough-to-be-morally-unthwackable repeats!

I suppose that on TMF you had the 'Next' button, which made it easier to go to the next joke. Here, you have to click 'backspace' to get back to the folder or open them all in separate windows.

I often opened TMF posts in separate tabs. I found it easier to hold the CTRL key down and click on all the unread ones to open them all in one go rather than keep clicking "next".
I use Firefox but I believe the same or similar works in other browsers.

Hat doff to Stooz. A 'Previous' and a 'Next' topic button have appeared. If there was a 'Rec' button, it would get pressed.
