Only slightly related, what would save me a lot of hassle would be if the sql that draws the list also references the active user, so that you get an icon beside topics that you have taken part in.
This way, when you go away for a couple of days and then return, you can scan though 10 or 20 pages and quickly find the items you have played a part in, in order to offer follow up more effectively without having to bookmark every topic you contribute to.
As a TSQL/ASP programmer myself, i know this is possible, wouldn't even need layout change, just font or backgound colour change maybe.
