How do we know what topics have unread posts? Or do we at all?

on the opening forum page there is a right sidebar that lists latest topics.

No way to tell what is unread until you go look. there may be some plug-ins that could improve this

I am working on adding this functionality - it's plugin based but in my testing I had a hard time to get it to work. Give me a 'little' bit of time and I'll see what I can do. In the meantime Mike's tip is the best but I can see that even it needs to be improved and added to some of the other pages as well.

Let me rephrase that .. NOT! ... Disabled once again until I can find away to have it work correctly.
Oh and Arni what are you going on about man .. You can edit your own posts for up to an hour after being posted

I could not edit my doublepost before you added the delete function. At that time the Edit button appeared with the Delete one. I can now, however, edit my less-than-60-minutes-old posts just fine.
And under an hour after me posting is not enough, and IMO a stupid rule.

I edited a post with a regular member's account a couple hours ago, before the delete was added/removed. I agree the one hour thing is silly, we'll figure something out.
Until then you can always PM us to delete....

It has been brought to my attention that what I wrote might be construed as a statement directed at you personally Steven.
As someone who has been spending a great deal of time with various forum software and participating in several forums over the past few years, I have come to conclusions on good and bad features, according to what I believe is best for my users and myself as a user. I express my opinions as mere bug reports or feature requests or simply just that.... my opinions on the matters discussed.
I've battled many personal demons over the years and as a result of many such victories I've come to value words and truth beyond most other things. This means that I write what I mean and mean what I write to be the honest truth. There are no hidden lines to read between, nor a different meaning to be boiled out of the text. If I have a problem with a person I will either not say anything about it, or I will say it plain and to the point. If there is no personal attack in my text, there is not personal attack intended in the text.
When I say XX software is a failure, I don't mean that XX's designers are a failure or that whoever is using/deploying/implementing said software is a failure. If I say so, the software it self is annoying and a failure in my eyes.
These opinions are not... I repeat this most carefully: these opinions are NOT directed as any form of personal insult, retort or general discord towards any person.
Two of the things I really hate are first when people read something into my words that isn't there and second when they think I don't know I'm only stating my own personal views and tell me I can't speak for everyone. I am only me and I'd have to be seriously more insane than I am if I were to think I spoke for anyone but myself. I do not believe that I have to preface my opinions with things like "I feel that", "I think that" or "In my opinion", because in my opinion that just goes without saying. Sometimes I do it anyway when I want to make doubly sure that this point gets through, but still people seem to see ghosts in the shadows aiming daggers at their backs.
This is basically to make sure that over the course of the next days and weeks, should I find fault with this new software and choose to voice it, nobody will take it personally 
That is all. Sorry for the long wind.
