* View unanswered posts • View unread posts • View new posts • View active topics
* Mark forums read

Yes, I don't like that last post on any subforum shows up in the parent -- it hides things, not good, really. But I don't know what can be done about that one. It has been discussed over and over on the board of the guys who wrote this software and they seem not to understand the whole idea of a tree view hierarchy... So I doubt an upgrade is coming soon, they don't "get" the problem.
