>Right ... but clicking on the Forum title resets those messages. Are you just saying that you want a button (link) next to the heading that will reset the messages because it's not obvious otherwise? Maybe just explaining that in the Forum settings page would be sufficient, since people will have to change these settings from the default anyway.

Yes, the way we did it temporary is not good. The forum title shouldn't be used for such purpose. It is not obvious and many other things would get affected by that. I am releasing in a few minutes a small icon next to it with a nice tooltip to explain this.
