Forum troubles with msg'd marked read after a time!!

I have mentioned this before. Is it at all possable to remove the time out of the forums somehow?

I hate rushing through the posts so that all the new posts arent marked read while I am still going through the forums.

As our population increases this is going to become a real big issue as more posts and long posts will make all messages towards the end of our "catching up" to be marked read and then we have to (laziness here) read the time stamps and try to remember if/when we got on the forum and what was the last time we were on to then determine what we really did read and didn't read.


Can there be a selection for us to check that stops the forums from marking messages that we really didn't read as read already? And/or a selectable time limit for this?

Same here. Do "new" messages expire after a certain period of time, or on the hour or something? I haven't figured it out yet, I just know that sometimes (like now) the new messages seem to get cleared for me, even in threads that I haven't touched.

It would be nice to have a way to have the filter for "Threads changed today" or "Threads changed in the last hour" and be able to get to those lists independently of "new".
