Yes, I have narrowed it down by doing that, but for instance....I might want to see SOME of the recipes, but don't want my UNREAD option filled with recipes I'm not interested in. If there were 10 listed, and I only wanted to view 2 of them, I could delete the other 8 without having to view them.
There are a lot of topics on main and for sale and others that I'm just not interested in viewing, but I don't want to delete that forum from my unread list.
I'm sure if there was a way to delete the ones I didn't want to read, I'd subscribe to a lot more of the topics.
But thanks for the reminder, sometimes we forget the options that we do have.
