They’re still in the “View All” area even when they’re cleared.

For me, I use this as sort of a to-do list. The indicator stays lit reminding me that I haven’t decided (or haven’t had the time) to respond to something. With the old behavior my indicator clears when I view the ping, then I get busy, get distracted, and forget all about writing a response. Maybe it’s just me, but this new behavior provides a better work flow.

I sent you a freepmail about this, but decided to put it here too since others may notice it too

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is something messing up in my freepmail or is this something you are working on?

This is not going to be very convenient for me in freepmailing prayer requests because I have to forward several and if the subject line doesn’t fill in, I will be getting replies that I have no idea who they go to.

Is there any way to make the subject line fill in again like it did...and the name it came from in the reply to also? Sorry to be a bother...I just do lots of work in freepmail with the prayer warriors, and I don’t want to mess up the prayer replies.

Isn't/wasn't that the purpose of the indicator light?

So, the NEW version stays on, forcing one to respond to each/every ping/post?

The new behavior is not useful. Once I have viewed a response, I need the indicator cleared whether or not I intend to respond. I can’t possibly respond to every post.

Ping. If you read the original post about changes to "ping" behavior, then read the below response, it sounds like this method may work better for the way you use it. For me, I've set my profile settings back to the old way because it works better that way for me. Plus, I hate change!
