What this site needs is a section which lists the latest threads which have been mentioned, we have vBLive, which is short and used to just fade away, we have two New Posts and as soon as you answer a post in that it goes to vBLive and your reply disappears too soon by then you have forgotten the title of it and which forum it was in anyway.

What we need is a section like This Weeks Threads in quick links, no need to mention every post in it just the first or last one, maybe none. That would at least give you and idea of what you have shown interest in lately and enable you to do a follow up. Maybe it could just be the threads you have shown interest in and nobody else.

 

Either select "New Posts" to see anything new since you were last here
There is a drop down box below your signature with other selections
There is a "Last 24 hours" you can click on to see the last 24 hours of all threads
Hope this helps

 

I still like the functoin on the Christian site I moderate - upper right corner is a button to push, it gives you a list of threads that you once visited that have new posts.

Not QUITE the same as Dave or you are talking about, but it's a good, quick way to see if discussions that you are a part of have new posts.
