what you describe is a big problem with the web interface..

which i easily overcome by using Thunderbird (there are many others)
to access/read/write via NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol)..

Thunderbird lines up ALL posts by date (just like the email reader it
is), and ALL unread posts are easily found..

so, while the complicated question posted 12 hours ago might be "off
the front page" for you and all other web interface users, it will be
right near the top of unread posts for me..

think about it, and give it a try:
