OK, sorry 'bout that. Do you think it would it help if there were another
"update" button below the rate box?

For now, they're in the box, but probably tomorrow your own personal notes
will also appear along the top... It's just a loose end to tidy up, and we
wanted to make a cut and and put this up tonight.

If it gets too long of a list, we could put it on a sub-page. Someday ya I
think it would be helpful to be able to disable the view of that through some
preference.

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean a tree view, like the
one shown here?--
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/browse.cgi
If so, ya, we'll make something like that for the new one too -- only more
clear. There's a quick start at a list of themes on this page:
http://guide.lugnet.com/

Nowhere yet, but prolly soon.

I think Kyle meant (and even if he didn't, *I'd* like to see it) is that
you can currently get a thumbnail-list by theme, like
<http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qc=*space&qn=20>. But it would be nice to be
able to get the same list, but limited to a subtheme, like M:Tron.
And, in another message, Kevin Wilson mentions:

Oh, yeah! I've wanted that for a long time.

Well, actually, that link above lists any sets within a category containing
the component word "space" -- which in this case includes accessories and
Dacta categories.
If you want *just* LEGO SYSTEM Space sets, click the link that says _Space_
in one of the theme thingies that looks like this:
_LEGO_ > _SYSTEM_ > _Space_ > _etc_
and that'll bring you here:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qc=lego/system/space
Similarly, if you want *just* LEGO SYSTEM Space M:Tron sets, click a link
that says _M:Tron_ (or do a search for "m:tron" and click it) and that'll
bring you here:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qc=lego/system/space/mtron
which shows the 9 M:Tron sets (those and only those).
--Todd
p.s. LEGO doesn't use the word "theme" or "subtheme" -- it's something
JoshuaD says I made-up a while back that unfortunately stuck. M:Tron is
actually a "play theme" within the LEGO Space System (a.k.a. LEGO SYSTEM
Space). Thus, Space and Castle aren't themes -- they're systems. M:Tron
and Ninja are play themes. (If you wanna be fully A/R about it. :-)

Yeah, that works. Thanx!

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. I just noted that the "quick start"
list wasn't expandable or anything so that I could click directly
on a specific sub-theme or whatever. Going to a major them, and
then browing the thumbnails until I find a member of a sub-theme,
and then clicking on that link next to it to get the rest of the
sub-theme just seemed a little clunky :]
Thanx,

G'day Todd,
I was wondering about the outcome of the thread below
that we had a while back. Essentially, it concerned
the new set guide only having quick links to major
themes, but no (expandable) tree to allow direct
access to a sub-theme. For example, to see all the
sets in Classic Space (without using those search
terms) I need to select Space here:
http://guide.lugnet.com/
and then click on the {Classic} in the first classic
space set I find in the guide. Is a
browse-down-to-subtheme feature still planned?
Thanx,
KDJ
