When you go into your private messages (found under my account) whenever you get any new message in your inbox or any subfolders that you've created, they always come up with that red glow around the document icon next to the message. unfortunately, the only way to stop that red glow is by actually opening the message. You would think that if you clicked on the marked box to the right of the message and go to the dropdown box at the bottom of the page, you would be able to mark those particular messages as read or even unread (if you wanted to keep an eye on something). Sadly, that can't be done.
I was hoping that, like with email systems these days, we could have a 'mark as read/unread' option in the dropdown box. It would honestly save having to open multiple tabs just to get that red glow to disappear. Which could possibly mean less work for all systems (just hoping I'm right on this. I'm not much of a computer geek).
I understand that there is also a similar suggestion here https://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=1241911&p=35948317&hilit=mark+as+read%2Funread#p35948317.
