Hi All,

when reading other forums I can click a button (or have a preprogrammed link) that performs a search which finds posts that are new since my last visit.

This is an incredibly useful function for staying current when reading forums.

I tried to find that sort of thing here but it doesn't seem to be around. Have I missed it and if so, where is it?

If not… I have a really great suggestion to improve this forum's usefulness :D

Oh come on… :D doesn't generate a smiley automatically :(

While it's not a search, it looks like threads that contain unread posts are bolded and have colored icons as opposed to greyed-out ones. (And the forums also use the colored icons.)

That's true, but the ‘search for new posts’ search takes you straight to the newest post in a thread, which is why it's so useful.
