: : Second, it took me a long time to notice this follow-up. It was nested in a thread about five screens down on the message board.

to control how long before a link expires (i.e. turns back to
blue to indicate an unfollowed link). I'm using version 3.0 and under

followed and unfollowed links. Unless I am misunderstanding, this should allow you to make the
requested changes. Paul Baughman
