You know about "Message View" right? That sounds like what they've got in GS. I use it, myself. You can make it a permanent setting in the preferences if you haven't already.
If I did that, I couldn't complain anymore.

If I did that, I couldn't complain anymore. I despise boards like that even more than I despise topic view (which, I'm sorry to say, I'm using right now.). Ugh. | |

I love message view, but I wish it clearly marked the new messages that I hadn't read before. That way I could scroll down the list until I saw a green spot. I'm not following you. The unread messages should appear in green regardless of the view type. This isn't working? | |

Oh, you mean topic view (yeah, yeah, the names suck). That is different. Oh, okay, I can make the individual unmarked messages stand out. Good call. | |

I like the new threaded view, Tom. Too bad I didn't know about the "viewed" list wipe. I glanced back several times today and saw no green, so I thought I had read it all... boy was I wrong ;)
