is it possible to get a threaded view at the top level of a topic? once you open a topic you can get the individual posts threaded, but is there any ability to do expand this at a higher level (say at the free support level as opposed to one of the topics within that)
You mean the ability to expand the topics directly on the forum page, as if each row were collapsed by default? In that case, you wouldn't leave the forum page to see the tree structure of each topic and would still be able to expand and collapse the posts. Is this what you mean? If yes, this is possible, but would require several hours of work from the Nabble team. We plan to release our templates feature in a few weeks. Any user would be able to implement that, but there is certainly a learning curve for this kind of implementation.

I see Nabble doing e-mail and web with the same content, the page on the 'universal back-end' points out how new (nntp) is structured similarly, is it possible to have nntp, e-mail, and web all showing the same content?
Sorry, I don't understand your question here.

is there any way to mark messages as being 'seen' for a user (either per topic or overall) so that on repeated visits it's easy to see what's new?
We do have this feature. The system controls the last visited date/time of each user for each topic. It uses this information to paint the color of the links (visited vs. unvisited) on the forum page. Also, when you open a topic, the system shows in bold font the messages posted after the last visit (threaded/list views only).

These views are sticky. The one you choose is kept until you switch to another view.
