Can you add a flag to the posts themselves that indicates whether they are new or not?  It can even be small and subtle like the difference between icon_minipost_new.gif (new) and icon_minipost.gif (old) that is used at 3rdedition.org.  I know that having those flags makes it just that little bit easier to keep up with threads you are tracking (i.e. it indicates where you need to resume reading).

Along similar lines, it would be nice if the Sticky Topic, Announcements, Closed Topic, and Moved Topic symbols had grayscale versions for old ones like the normal Topic and Poll markers do.

Perhaps the only precept taught me by Grandfather Wills that I have honored all my adult life is that profanity and obscenity entitle people who don’t want unpleasant information to close their eyes and ears to you.

Donate rice by improving your vocabulary.

Because you don’t have anything better to do in January in Maine.

Neither feature you’re wanting are possible with this software.  :( We have put in feature requests for the second request.  Time will hopefully yield some improvements with what we can do with the forums.

Well, you can see the posting time though, but I agree that it would be nice to get the 3ebb system to follow up posts.

Unfortunately, it’s not something that works out of the box.  I’ll look into a customization.
