I assume that such per-user options are now clashing with the new page caching optimizations in the mail archive (unlike the rel=next links which can be baked right into the cached page and therefore still work). Since they don't work anymore, it's probably better to remove those features altogether, than having misleading options in the user control panel.
[Editor's note: this comment was originally attached to this article. I have moved it to the correct forum.]
Kerneltrap's "articles" have really become worse and worse over the years, and this one is a perfect example of the daily flood of worthless drivel that passes for an "article" these days.
The last few (at least) quotes seem to be double-tagged: "Tags: GPL, GPL, license, license, Linus Torvalds, Linus Torvalds, Linux, Linux"
Can you add something like "[QUOTE]" in the subject of the quotes in the RSS feed (or alternatively remove them, or have a separate RSS feed)?
Did you ever have noticed that the clock of the server that serves
the content of Kerneltrap is 6 hours behind the actual time?
In a globalized world it would also be more appropriate to display
time stamps and similar things in an ISO8601-like format with timezone
information included. I don't know which time it is when I read
C code with backslash followed by zero within single quotes
'\0'
is not formatted correctly in KernelTrap.
Currently there is a "next by thread" link for sequential reading, but you have to hunt this link with your mouse each time. Would it be possible to also add this same link under the html/head section using <link rel="next" href="..."/>?
There is a function to find the specific message in KernelTrap archive if you know the message-id, but there is no reverse function: to show the message-id of a message archived in KernelTrap, in order to find the same message in another archive.
I know, I know, who would want to leave the KernelTrap archives... :)
Look at this message:

Here is the corresponding version on lkml.org:
I had never noticed this menu item before on KernelTrap. It is quite a nice feature. However, when I click "Printer friendly" version on any man page, it only renders the very bottom of the Man Page.
Hi, I find the KernelTrap's mailing list interface much cleaner than either GMANE or lkml.org; thanks for this!
What I wanted to say is, the index pages could certainly fit more messages than the current 25. Having more titles visible at once means that they can be skimmed much quicker.
Jeremy, I've noticed a lot more activity on Kernel Trap these last few months. I just wanted to say thank you very much. Since the death of Kernel Traffic, you've helped fill a much needed void.
I hope the hard work you've been doing is bringing more advertising dollars your way. You certainly deserve it. :)
