There is probably away to do this, but it escapes me right now...

Is there a way to mark messages as "unread"...

More importantly, I noticed that there is a link that shows "all unanswered" messages. Can the "next topic" be set in THIS view to show the next "unanswered" message rather than the next message in the forum to which the "unanswered" message belong... That was probably as clear as mud... but hopefully something go through.
Cheers

Currently these are missing features of phpBB3. Hopefully they will implement them for upcoming releases.

Don't know if you are aware, but the actual proper release of phpBB3 is due on 13th December at 5pm UK time. At the moment, this version is still in beta test so some bits are missing. You'll find, once the finish product is released, there will be a number of mods become available for short comings in phpBB3.

As soon as the final version is available, we will upgrade the forum software.
Hopefully mods will be easier to implement compared to phpBB2 (it was a pain).

I recently upgraded my forum to RC8 and it has a couple of mods installed. It was really easy to upgrade and I didn't need to reinstall the mods, the upgrade script found what changes were needed and just added them in to the new files.
