>>True, it does show marked messages first, but it shows marked messages, not threads in a typical treeview format like the forum. It would be nice to be able to 'pin' marked or watched threads at the top of the forum. The agent feature is not something that is easily seen or known to newcomers and it requires a separate view to see those messages and each message is shown separately in a grid. If you can pin a thread, then you can easily track all responses in that thread if you wish.

Yes and yes. Both. If turned on, watched threads would show at the top of the map of messages. If turned off, then not but they could still be available for viewing in a tree format from a mouse click.
