In Enterprise Architect discussion forum (I mean the forum inside the modelling tool, not this forum I am writing this post to), there is the problem that in the threads tree, there can't be easily determined which threads contain new posts.
What I miss is that unlike standard discussion forums (like this one), although new posts are highlighted (bold typeface), the threads containing them are not (in most standard forums those threads are marked as unread too).
The result is, that when I start Enterprise Architect discussion forum, I cannot easily see where are new posts unless I expand each branch of the tree. Bloody hell, trere is not even a command like expand all... >:(
Is there any configuration switch I have not spotted, that makes the EA discussion forum behave as expected (at least by me), that is unread posts in branches marking those whole branches as unread?
If there isn't, so then I can see it as a bug, because it greatly reduces the Enterprise Architect discussion forum usability. So far, there are some hundred of posts in our forum in several dozen threads, and already I can't maintain what is new and unread.
Appreciating any advice, thanks.

I think that the discussion forum in general has the potencial of being a very powerfull tool.
Maybe Sparx should just copy the behavior of a standard forum or let EA have some attribute referring it to some web forum which will be opened instead (if the deployment includes such)
