>>>I just read your message to him, and now it officially makes no sense to me *grin*. Those checkboxes appear to serve more than one function, and those functions seem to be opposed to each other. For some reason, the .NET box was not checked for me. That meant there was *no* way (as far as I can tell) for me to get to that forum...it did not appear in the drop down at the top, and the messages were not appearing virtually. IOW, the .NET messages were not showing in the top frame or the bottom frame ("Messages since logged in") along with the other forums.

They appear at the end of the list. Right now, there's no way to order forum messages based on preferences. So, recently created forums goes at the end.
