Perhaps I'm too used to Usenet for my own good ... When I go to a forum's "Read new messages" page and select a message thread to read, why doesn't that thread get "marked read" and stop showing up on the "Read new messages" page? Having read it, it's no longer new to me. :-) Does the "Read new messages" / "Mark all read" functionality work on a simple timestamp, or on an article-by-article (or thread-by-thread) basis? If it's the former, any chance we could change it to the latter?
