Hey Spack, I am finding that when I hit the main forum listing, there are icons to show which forums have unread threads/posts in them, which is cool. Problem for me is that when I click on one of them, none of the actual posts inside show the same icon. Clicking back to see what other forums have unread posts also no longer shows which is which. Just a heads up.

use firefox and open the threads/posts in a new tab

Strange, as it works fine in IE6 here. You could just click on the arrow at the far right which takes you to latest post in that forum/thread
