Dan,

I've enjoyed a new feature where posting the URL to a thread automatically presents the linked thread title. This feature doesn't exist when posting links to reviews, and it may not work with other content. Will it be implemented throughout the site or are there software or time limitations for doing so?

Threads lend themselves to named links since the subject is stored in the database. The articles aren't as nicely organized, but they could be. I'll put your suggestion on my to-do list. Thanks!

You should see auto-expansion of URLs for the reviews, how-tos, etc. For example:
httpx://www.home-barista.com/naked-extraction.html
On submit, it's expanded to the article's title: Bottomless Portafilter: Diagnosing Espresso Extraction Problems. It currently doesn't auto-expand forum URLs; I'll keep that on my to-do list.
