See remove "This Node" (from your personal nodelet) for my previous request for this feature.

    Ah, sorry for asking for something that's already been asked for. Please consider my post another request for this feature. :)

    I've had a look at the replies to your post, and I have a couple of comments (I'm going to reply to them in this thread, as perhaps more people will see them; your post is three months old now):

    fundflow said:

    Wouldn't it be easier if the personal nodelet had a small checkbox style thing to remove the page?

    and

    tye replied:

    Sure that would be nice too. :) In fact, that would solve my other frustration with the personal nodelet: the long titles run together so it is hard to tell where one title ends and the next begins.

    Maybe this could be solved by using a <ul> tag for the list of nodes?

    In fact, I've done /msg tye 12345678901234567< em>45678901234567< /em*gt;5678901234567 to exploit a bug in the chatterbox breaking of long words so that my right-hand column is wider just to reduce this specific problem..

    An excellent idea, one which I'm now using myself (as you found out when I forgot to change "tye" to "mischief" when I was testing what length of characters looked best on my screen :-). (update: ... and then proceeded to forget to add the "/" to the beginning of my message, annoying not just tye, but everyone who's got their chatterbox turned on. Sorry. It was the cat! Honest!)

    Yes, I'm a freak

    I recommend beer. It helps.

    My personal nodelet has gotten a bit out of hand, so I'd still like the "remove this" feature ... if I had to choose between the two, I think I'd vote for fundflow's idea

    Personally, I think having a list of checkboxes next to the links in your personal nodelet isn't such a good idea. It would take much more space than it does already, especially with a submit button below the list. Perhaps we could have the option to display checkboxes if we wanted to?
