What is the logic of providing the list of subjects without activity.. We know the topics we have subscribed to ..wasting the greater part of a page to tell us which topics are not active is a waste and unnecessarily busies the page

Alright Dmitry, i thought i would give your new system a fair try, benefit of the doubt and all that [again] ... so i hit a Mark as Last Read button and am taken to it, i click on the right hand 'Custom' button, and three things happen - 1. the list of Subjects without New Messages instantly loses its alphabetical order, 2. a button called 'Save' appears, and 3. putting cursor over 'Custom' brings a popup thing that says 'Click here, drag rows, create your own sort preference!' Looking around - and i really did look around, carefully checked everywhere and put cursor over much of it - there appears to be an utter lack of a clickable button that says 'Put Subjects without New Messages back in Order at Bottom of Page' Nowhere ... perhaps it's worded somewhat differently, or i've somehow missed it, in that case my most profuse apologies and could someone point out its general location please If it doesn't exist, then could you please rectify that lack as soon as humanly possible, Dmitry? ... because half the screen is completely wasted this way, subjects with messages should very obviously take priority and subjects without should get their time up top when somebody posts on them and not before ... as for order, the time it would take to put a list my length back in alphabetical would be long hours, completely wasted, and if not in order the time spent looking for some thread would be completely wasted If you could somehow rectify this it would be much appreciated ... and while you're at it - if there must be juvenile graphics as in those logos and the fifteen year old with the martini glass, could we please have the option of putting them all down at the bottom of the page? ... this would be so nice, everybody be happy then, oh wait could the popup/dropdown things please go with them as well? ... if there's people who prefer graphics to discussion in text, they may have some ideas on how to improve their experience, i have no problem with that, in fact here's one - you could provide them with an option to replace all text with random hot-links to google images, plenty of graphics there, they'll never have to learn to read or type, maybe never know what text used to be ... everybody be happy then
