It would be interesting to have a comment from Paul.

I really have not got the "new message" flags figured.

They appear at three levels? Main menu, forum and thread and they do not (for me anyway) work in consonance.

Not only that, but at thread level, messages that I know I have read resume their "new message" flag on a regular basis.

All this makes an effective search for "real" new messages difficult and very time wasting.

I am hoping that this is teething trouble (or that I have set things up wrongly), but if not, it's a big no-no for me.

I usually log on several times a day on the assumption that it will take minutes at each visit. At present it is taking longer for one visit than I used to use for several. . . . .
