You can just click on the down arrow for a post, from the main forum page, and it displays the whole
message thread. Also, when a new message is posted the thread is hi-lighted yellow and popped to the
top.

How many gold medals have you got now Paul? Is it still five, same as all
the other MVPs? I bet they look really nice when they're all polished up.
You should be due for your Micro$oft Eagle Scout badge soon. I believe Cor
Ligthert has already got his, and he's got four knots on his woggle, so
you'd better get a move on. Say something nice about Micro$oft. That's
always a good move. You don't want to get left behind all the other creeps.

Having been left behind yourself I will defer to your expertise in that area. ;-)

Whatever. You still need to click/wait for the next thread, if not the
next message. Still a deal killer.

Also, does it remember which you've read and which you haven't?
Automatically jump to threads with new posts, and so on?
