Hi all,

I am looking for an online forum replacement for an NNTP newsgroup, and am hoping that some online forum -- any online forum -- will have just a few of the abilities that I'm used to.

So far, UBB is the only one I've seen that has a threaded message view, and that's great. But...

1. Using threaded view, when I read a message, is there a way (hot key?) to automatically advance to the next message in the thread? I don't want to have to scroll down and click on each new message to read it.

2. Or, alternatively, is there a way to have the threaded list displayed at the top of the screen, rather at the bottom?

3. Is there a way to somehow indicate which messages have been read in the threaded view? When I look at the indented list of messages, the only message that looks "different" is the one that I am viewing at that moment. However, I'd like to be able to see which messages I've already read, so that I can open only those that are unread.

4. Is there a way to automatically jump to the next unread message?

That's all my questions for now... might have more later.

Thank you for any insight/help you can offer.
