I've revamped the subscription script. The changes can be seen when clicking [subscriptions] from the front page. This is the master subscription page that used to take *forever* to load. Everything you can do on the master page, you can also do on each individual subscription page, but on the master page you can change many pages at once.
(For instance, you can go to /systemnews/subscription/ and add or remove this page from your home page. But you can also go to /subscription/ and add or remove this page, as well as adding or removing any other pages.)
It now loads much faster because the 'Add any page' pull down menu no longer lists every freaking page on the site. I have changed this to 'Pages you might want to add' and that pull down now lists every page you have permission for which isn't on your homepage, but is on at least one other persons homepage. In addition, there is now a text field where you can type in the path of any page you want to add (in case you want to add one no one else has on their homepage.)
The rest works the same. This is the best page to use to organize the ordering of pages on your homepage. The system is pretty smart when you change the numeric order of any of your pages. You can change, say, number 15 to number 2 without manually reordering all the pages in between. Just change 15 to 2 and leave everything else the same (so you have 2 number 2's and no number 15.) The system will sort out the conflicts and reorder everything nicely (the old number 2 becomes 3, 3 becomes 4, etc....)
