Bonnie,

Thanks for the great detail.

>You said that one of the changes you would implement would be a button or something that would enable one to get the New messages for other forums. IOW, if I set "Enable for reading new messages" in the Forum settings to only one of my 4 subscribed-to forums, then the New messages icon will only reflect when there are new messages for that one forum and that there will be some other way to determine the new messages for the other forums.

>And I don't know if a button would work anyway ... this is kinda what Dave was getting at when he mentioned 4 new buttons. A combo sounds like a much better idea (which, incidentally, sounds like the way you had it before <g>). Would one button get New messages for *all* the other forums I'm subscribed to? I wouldn't want this kind of behavior (and neither, apparently, does Dave) ... I'd want to be able to choose from which of my other forums to get new messages from. Does that make sense?
