Search for new posts?

Okay, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Is there any way to get this forum to show all the new posts since I was here last?

I'm missing too much good stuff!

I know I'd love to see this feature. The "10 last posts" thing works OK, but if you're gone for more than a few hours, you inevitably miss a few.

Anyone?

You do realize each forum that has new posts is highlighted. Within the forum, each thread with new posts is similarly highlighted. If you click on the highlight icon, you will (most of the time) be brought to the new posts in the thread (sometimes, you wind up on the 1st page of posts, but scrolled down the right amount for where the new post appears on the last page - odd :-).

I did know about the 'new posts' icon, but not that clicking on it did anything. That'll work in a pinch. Thanks ;D

John, I don't know if you've figured this trick out yet or not, but you can go to the "search" page and change the number of entries listed to a larger number (I usually set it at 40 or 50 if I've been gone around a day) and hitting search without changing anything else.

This will give you all the latest posts of the forum, starting with the newest at the top and oldest at the bottom.

I did not know that, thanks!

I have found the navigation on this site is a tad involved too. (but worth it)
