That would work most excellent! what if we had a customization option (or a separate page) that listed only* SM's with new messages? Just asking - not promising. <g>* Also, it would be great to be able to turn off a thread(s) during the day, buit keep a running countto be displayed when reactivated. The reasoning behind this is that some days I don't want to be bogged down with "new messages" from coffee shop threads, but don't want to try to remember which ones were posted to during the day. If I just wash them in the "clear all messages" function, I sometimes forget. Okay, this one might be a stretch of a request :)

If so, what if we had a customization option (or a separate page) that listed only* SM's with new messages? Just asking - not promising. <g>* Good idea. I am with August and Andreas on this one too. More functionality with bookmarks would be useful. I would like to have two or three sets of bookmarks. I keep a lot of threads bookmarked but many of them are low priority threads. It takes a long time to load a bookmark page with 100 +/- threads. A bookmark management page might be the way to go. Check a box for high or low priority. And I agree with Andreas...a box to check so several bookmarks could be deleted at once. It takes a long time to house clean..deleting bookmarks one by one. ALSO Why not a methodology to categorize/index posts? Something similar to a portfolio page. I would like to be able to create an index of quality/informative posts for a thread. I would like to be able to flag a post and put it in a category. Then make the bookmarked posts/categories available to all. For example. On the Dream Machine thread there have been many posts about multimonitors. If I could flag the post and add it to a multimonitor group..then readers could review the multimonitor posts before posting to the thread. Here is an example. It is a useful tool but it became too time consuming. Any help would be appreciated home.att.net Thanks Zeuspaul
