I once made a suggestion that the "new post" button either shows the new unread posts since last visit but at least the last posts of say the last 1-2 days - all threads even if you have read in them already.
For me it is annoying to find a topic AFTER I clicked on it because it won't show again with the current setting. Often I want to post a bit later (after a first glance of all posts) but then I need to find the thread(s) again among all others
. If I don't recall the sub-category this takes a while. Yes, I guess there is an option in the user profile section but it would be nice to do this from the main menu.
Other forums work like this (Klickywelt, funtastic-plastic, TJ...)
