So I apologize for any inaction. We can change the default to any number of hours. Please keep in mind, however, that it takes longer to load more messages and there will be a longer wait. Also, newcomers are likely not to know that they can bookmark a shorter period of time, and they will be waiting often for old, already read messages. So keeping all of this in mind, we are open to suggestions for the length of the default. We will change it on Thursday afternoon based upon the majority response - if there is a response. -Steve
