Can we set the "clear new messages timer" (or whatever it's called" to a longer period? I've had a couple of times where I was typing one of my "books", and get a phone call, or wife wants me to "come look at something", and by the time I post up, new posts have come in AND been cleared, so I miss them... I can always "mark all forums read", but it's hard to find posts you might have missed...
