When I click the "More" link and the page is expired, I'd rather have it go to the latest next page than have to backup and refresh the page. Could be a pref.

#453Strip Feedburner campaign parameters (and other campaign parameters) from submitted URLs.
This doesn't have a functional impact on the website, since the link still works, but as a web analyst I have OCD about keeping data clean. If people are getting to the page from HN, then their visit shouldn't get credited to feedburner. There's also a benefit to HN in doing this: In google analytics, campaign data overwrites referrer data, which means Hacker News does not receive credit for the traffic it directs to those sites, if there's a campaign code stealing credit.
While the same applies to any sort of analytics campaign tracking query parameters, Feedburner is the only culprit I've seen on hacker news, and they generally have the Google Analytics tracking parameters, which all start with UTM.

#454Allow a different "showdead" setting on the "new" page.
I like to browse with showdead on, because it's interesting to see what comments are being posted from dead accounts, or what frontpage stories are killed.
The "new" page, however, is painful with showdead on, because of all the spam.
My ideal would be to browse with showdead on everywhere except the new page.

#455More of a bug report than a feature request. When logging in with OpenID, it doesn't seem to like HTTPS urls. I tail my Apache access logs and see no requests...

#456Have a background lookup of the URL and/or title, so that before you hit Submit on an item, it can tell you in the submit page whether the item has already been submitted (something with the same URL or same/almost-same title).

#459Could you put the code for Hacker News up on Github, so we could all help towards a better code base?
