Hi guys,

I like to let my forum do it's thing for a few days at a time... but then I get wayyyyy more than 50 posts, and as a result, I can't reply to them all. 

Is there any way to get the unread posts to go beyond 50?  I'd like to respond to all of them... not just the ones that squeeze through the limit.

Take a look at the Options > General Display settings

These options allow you control over the number of unread posts stored per user. The default count is the number of unread posts kept for each user by default. If you want to allow users to set their own option for the number of posts to keep, enable this option. You should then set a maximum number of unread posts they can store. Caution: the unread post information is stored in the database so do not set this number too large. Our default is 50. We do not recommend a number larger than 200.

that sets the limit... then in your profile, you (or any other user) can set your personal list max to a higher number as long as its less than the forum max...
