What you're doing is the only way for now. Perhaps in the next release I can add a few of those options. I've been thinking of getting rid of some of the sort options and replacing that with 'New posts' or 'Last 24 hours' or something. Those could be sorted easily by date and time, but not within threads really. We could do a thread sort by date, but it'd probably get confusing as the threading would get really jumbled.
Anyway, I've gotten the new data server online and it's much faster, so I'll be working on these search and sort options next. We plan to make the new server live in a week or two.

Can Expanding a thread.... - lwang 20:44:11 05/06/02 (3)
Can expanding a thread by the Thread Display option somehow force the loading of each post under it individually either as load into a borderless frame or whatever so that when I visit that top of the thread again, my browser would have marked the posts under it that I've loaded before as visited, thereby changing the color of the link? This way, only the posts that I did not expand before would not be highlighted.
Or maybe go into a flat thread format.

  Ah, yes, if you view the boards in the expanded thread mode, all messages that you've read should show up with visited links.

    Not if I never individually vistited those threads before.
    If I only use expanded thread mode, I never visit the threads individually.
    I am wondering if when I expand the thread, could the individual links be loaded to the browser so that is is recognized by my browser as visited link.

      Ah, ok, I got it. No, sorry. The browser only sees one url.
      If you always view entire threads, then the only way to show you new threads would be to keep a cookie and do some processing based on the last visit.
