| Highlight where you last left off
Fark has an interesting feature. It remembers where a thread ended when you last visited so when you return later, it draws an obvious red line that underlines the last post you viewed.
Could something similar be implemented here? It would come in handy when scanning a long thread for new posts. |

| reply to nwrickert That seems to indicate a thread that has been updated since you read it. I'm talking about an indicator within the thread. (see above)
I'm sure we can come up with something a little nicer than a thick red line, but you don't miss it. For threads with 5 posts, it won't matter. For threads with 50 posts per page, it will make a difference. |

| That seems to indicate a thread that has been updated since you read it. It (the blue arrow) does not just indicate that. You click on the blue arrow and it takes you to right where you left off. -- AT&T dsl; Westell 2200 modem/router; SuSE 10.1; firefox 2.0.0.8 |
