I can`t read all messages in a forum i joined, why not? why cant lefora allow members to read all messages at once on forums. saves me the time to browse, I work a lot of hours and don`t get time like some forum anoraks who dont work, or are retired,  to always read and reply to the messages i am interested in.?

There is a way to read all posts at once.  Under the 'Recent Posts' widget on your sidebar, there is a link that says 'See More', if you click this, you'll see all posts, sorted by the newest first.  

You can also get here by clicking on the 'Forum' tab, then clicking the 'Newest Post Across All Categories' at the bottom right.

Here's an example of this view on support:

I like this tip, but I don't have a link for "Newest Post Across All Categories" in my forum (Theme = Classic with Sidebar).

Just bookmark http://YOURFORUM.lefora.com/forum/post/ , where YOURFORUM is your forum name.

EG mine would be http://hackyour.lefora.com/forum/post/

I appreciate that I can create a bookmark. But I'm the Admin, and I'm trying to figure out how I would help the members of my forum.

So, Chief, you state that there's a link at the bottom for people to click, but it doesn't appear at the bottom of my forum.

That's because your theme doesn't have the button.
You could put a link in the sidebar, bookmarked to http://YOURFORUM.lefora.com/forum/post/, if you don't have or don't want the Recent Posts widget in there.

it's included with the 'Recent Posts' widget, your members can either click the title of the widget or click the 'See more' at the bottom of the widget.  Or you can take coloneljack's suggestion

Thanks for the clarification.
 
Just to be clear (but not to be mean), you DID state that the link was at the bottom of the page. But you didn't stat that it was on the bottom of SOME pages, hence my
