Please Read Requests from a Power User

Please, please, please set an aging limit. What are we to do with 300,000 posts beside delete them all which we don’t want to do.

1.The ability to set an "aging" limit on posts that changes their status to "read" after a certain number of days. While read posts are removed at a user specified interval, without this critical feature, when posts are not marked read, they just accumulate. We have accumulated well over 100,000 unread posts. While it is possible to delete them all, this would remove CURRENT, unread posts as well. I would like to set posts to be marked read after, for example, 5 days.

2.The second, less critical feature we would like to see added is the ability to have the current highlighted post in the title list, centered vertically, instead of at the bottom. While this may seem a minor issue, when using the keyboard to visually scan hundreds of posts very quickly, it is extremely useful to be able to read ahead (i.e. further down the list) while scrolling. With the current highlighted post at the bottom of the list, new post titles appear, one-at-a-time, from beow the window, making reading the next title below of the currently selected post impossible.
