I'm working on an answer for you right now, Don. I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.

Hi Don,

Here's what I got back from Craig, our senior web designer:

You can’t choose what threads appear in which column.  The system decides that.  Each column defines what type of threads get displayed.  Below is a short description of each tab.

All Recent

All recent active topics in order from newest to oldest.

Unanswered

Threads that no one has responded to.

Unread

Threads that the system has indicated the logged in user has not viewed yet.

Your Discussions

Discussions that the user has participated in.

Does that help?

Not really.  Why do some forums come up as "recent posts" and others as "unread".  I understand what those terms mean.  I want to set up my preferences so that all forums come up "unread."  I read some high traffic forums, so the "recent posts" puts up a lot of extraneous garbage if I have read most of the posts, and only want to see the unread ones.  I guess I could use the "your discussions" method, but even if I wanted that option, how do I SET that/those preferences?
