When I'm reading the forum the link is a different color on messages I've read
because the browser has them cached.
On another note, adding word wrap to the Send A Message window would be great!

However, I'm using the computers at my school daily for reading this
forum, and I do rarely use the same computer in a row. Therefore I
do not get to see what posts I've read before.

That would also be great.

The word wrap in the Send A Message window is a good idea I just hit return
when it reaches the edge. :)
As for the messages read, the link color change would tell you that you have
already read a message, at least until you deleted your cache, then the browser
no longer knows which ones you read.
So, the in order for the forum to keep track of messages you read, you would
have to log in to the forum like you do when you send a message. That approach
would work for me, since I read the forum from home and from work (two different
browser cache's). :)

Yeah, I was hitting return at or just after the window edge. Then I saw one of
my messages was poorly formatted in the list.

Yeah, I also read it at work and at home so I am familiar with the problem.
A problem that I am more likely to face is where I go for several days without
reading the list and then I have to search backwards and hopefully figure out the
last message I read.
Maybe just a link to your last-read message if you are logged in? Or maybe it
would be feasable to store the last x messages read by each user for such a
relatively small forum.
This is the same problem I had with the Topica interface, but I must say that I
find the list filter interface much nicer
Another suggestion -- preview.
