Sure, every color has a code.

And there are lots of different types of color coding systems.

By the way, chinese isn't a language, its either mandarin or cantonese, and as eli is going to hkg I suggest cantonese.

I've added a feature to the WAP site (not curve mobile) that by each topic it says "Last Page" or "Newest Post" (didn't decide on wording yet) so you can jump to the last page even if there is no "New" link next to the topic.

If anyone has any comments, feel free to chime in.
Does last go to the newest post or just the last page?

Last page. If there is a new post, it'll say "new" and then you click that to go to the newest page.

yup. First is just smaller and more exclusive. And nicer desks in the computer section. Maybe a drop better leather seats. But biz is triple the size.

First probably has better food but not nogaya for "us"

The Pier: http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_MY/atairport/hklounge_pier
The Wing: http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_MY/atairport/hklounge_wing

The Wing's First class lounge is much nicer than Business, but in The Pier, Business is nicer.

As a side point, look how off topic we get on a forum dedicated to travel enthusiasts.

Beware, we've had a forum member who's recently been at people's throats for going OT.

You should add a "Like" feature, like they have on Facebook, because this deserves a big one ...

+1. I've suggested this before. Maybe a thumbs up/down kinda thing.

A thumbs up, yes. (like on some other forums). A thumbs down just makes a mess when one person doesnt like another and abuses it. We have seen that happen here already.

Edit: read that wrong. A "topic" thumbs up/down would be great. I thought it was referring to something similar to kudos or reps...

Maybe if enough members feel that way about one member or post, then it says something about that member or that post.

We never had a thumbs up/thumbs down for a thread before (i edited my post from before, as i misunderstood it).
When the kudos were in place, they were blatantly abused.

That's a request that would have to go to Eli...

But Eli is sitting in the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt about to get driven to my flight to TLV, and not so interested right now in finding an SMF plugin for the "like" feature, although you guys should know that I've thought about it quite a few times over the last month. Maybe after I get back I'll have time to research it.

But when I do add it, Dan, you need to go through the forums and delete all of the "+1" posts.
