Is there a way to

a) change the default view period to 48 hours?

b) ensure that reading the site from 2 separate computers works correctly? It looks like the site is using a cookie to store my last visited time rather than a record persisted in the central database

Not yet, profile specific options aren't available yet. It's not that of a problem per se, as the feed is not that high that you need a filter for 48 hours because the # of threads is too high.

Correct, it uses client-side tracking, not server side. One reason we've done this is to assure that we don't track user's activity in a central database. Though it can be an option indeed. I'll add it to the profile settings feature list.

Thanks. That would also get rid of the need for the 48 hours thing
