I don't. There's no way on the http forum of seeing new posts since
last time I've read them all (something trivial with NNTP).
You read all the posts posted here?
Yes.
Can you elaborate on the problem? My current understanding of your
request was that it was just a layout preference, as opposed to
something enabling a specific workflow.
As of this very moment, my NNTP client (Thunderbird) shows there are 5
messages unread in the left treeview (http://imgur.com/KHnjcnU), and
displays in a simple list all 223871 messages ever posted in
digitalmars.D with the most recent 5 messages at the top and in bold
text (http://imgur.com/uJ2UdzA). As I select each of those unread
messages, their bold disappears (they become read). If I get bored and
want to mark all news as read, there's a button that does that (or I
could select some and mark as read etc).
I use threaded views for e.g. github discussions because once a pull is
merged, I archive them all in one shot. But a flat view is a very simple
and effective way of staying abreast of what's going on in the forum.
Again, I feel I'm missing something given that I'm the only one asking
for such.
