Thanks and I hope this is a useful suggestion ;)
I agree a system as you described would be ideal. I've given a great deal of thought to it and built prototypes of such a system.
I'm bumping up against some resource limitations. Given the current system, it's not possible to mark an individual thread as read by one member. That would require a huge set of pointers (bytes) for each thread that a member viewed.
