Then I saw one of my messages was poorly formatted in the list. > 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.

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. j.
