</div></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>I wouldn't worry about it. It's like bad webmail. It doesn't tell you which message is unread, and it doesn't organize into threads. And, it orders the messages from newest to oldest. So you're left looking at a reply, and digging for the original. And, if you reply, rather than sending you back to the same forum, it kicks you to a page where you have to choose your forum all over again.</div>

The list is better for those who want to save content for later reference or perusal. A web forum is faster moving, at least the one I'm on. I like the mouse-over preview feature, automatic thread organization, and the thread bolding for new messages in it. With a moderated forum, there is also the ability to move a message to a different forum. For instance, if someone accidentally posted about voicing in the refinishing forum, it could be moved.</div>
