Well I still have a 'wish' about this whole thing... I would like something more "evident" - some better form of a visual clue - between forum lists in the upper frame.

Right now it is easy to miss the fact that I have left the VFP forum messages and am now in some other forum.

My suggestion was to alternate the font color between forums. For instance if I have messages in the upper frame for VFP, CHATTER, .NET and MS OFFICE then using blue fonts for the VFP and .NET forum messages and possibly dark green (or black or ...) for the CHATTER and MS OFFICE would help to highlight that there has been a change of forums.

Here's another idea...
In the forums list where we set the sequence of forums, maybe we could also have a column to auto-expand forum Y/N. Default would be Y, and forums would expand as they do today. A setting of N for a forum would mean that the user does not want to have the forum messages list auto-expanded. However, it would then be most useful if expanding the forum 'title' would then expand ALL threads under the forum.
