I don't know enough about web design to know if this is a worthwhile suggestion, but..

How about an option to customize the Café for each member, the way websites like Yahoo do?

The main thing I have in mind is the ability to limit the discussion areas on the start page to the areas that I frequent. That way I could easily check for little red coffee mugs in all my favorite topics without having to sort through the topics that I never read.

What do you think? Am I lazy or what?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I wouldn't get your hopes too high.
