It seems that any time someone responds to a message no matter how old it is it will come up as new. Once I've read a post and not responded I am no longer interested in seeing new posts so find this very distracting and time consuming. One good thing the board could do would be to allow readers to see only posts that they have not read if they so desire. Perhaps some adaptations will be made as reader comments continue to come in. I have tried to set what I want to subscribe to and from how long ago and when I leave and come back the settings are not saved. Perhaps I'm missing a critical step here but don't know where or what it is. I'm waiting to see if adjustments are made for ease of reading and viewing posts.
