Actually, as I already noted, if you click on a link to a post in the message list, it does change color. If you read the subsequent posts by clicking on Next, however--without going back to the message list--the links in the message list stay the same color. One workaround is, when you've finished reading the new posts via Next, go back to the message list and click on the link to the most recent post. Then at least you'll have marked how far you read. (This is assuming you read posts in posting order rather than by thread.) > God, I hate it when a big company gives a project like > this to some software newbie who doesn't know his ass > from a user interface. Google did the same thing a year or so ago. Just recently they added a new "improvement." When you click on a thread (on Google the posts are all ordered by thread, but you read posts by pages rather than individual posts), it used to take you to the most recent one in the thread. Now it takes you to the *first* post in a thread, so if it's a long one, you have to click on page after page to go through the entire thread to get to the most recent posts. > > Maybe Yahoo decided that helping to put journalists > in China in jail wasn't enough damage to their rep, > and they had to go for the Full Monty. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
