I am very new to Freeway and as such am having trouble keeping up with what is happening in the few posts I have made. Other forums I am part of give a person the ability to see a list of he postings they have made which are then linked to those postings. This does not seem to be the case here. I have trouble remembering the exact wording I used for a title so as to be able to do a search for it later.
If you go to your profile page (click People in the main nav, then your name) you will see a list of all of the lists you belong to, the number of posts you’ve sent to those lists, and if you click the View link at the end of the line, the posts themselves. You are here: http://www.freewaytalk.net/person/view/98925 to save you a moment of searching.
It’s important to note that FreewayTalk is a set of mailing lists, not a forum in any traditional sense. Many people interact with the lists without ever looking at the Web site. I built the Web site to act as a well-curated mailbox for each list. The Web view application is “subscribed” to each of the lists and basically just stores everything it receives in thread view the way Apple Mail would (even down to the color of the little red number bubbles in the main nav).

FYI - sometimes the web view will mark all the messages in a thread as unread, when just one new message arrives. This seems to happen more often with longer threads.
It has to do with the one-month window that I had to instantiate for the history feature. It’s supposed to ignore anything older than a month for these purposes, but PHP/MySQL date math is notoriously difficult, and I wrote this several years ago. Before I took this step, I would have to clean the table routinely or the Web display would slow to a crawl.

Ah. Or ayiiiiii.
Here’s another one. On this very thread, I didn’t get a red indicator when I checked the site just now. It did show up as a new message since my last visit on the right, however.
