Tom, first, thanks for all the work you've done to get the Forum back up and running.  It's very much appreciated.
 
When DvForums opens up, I look at the Main topics to see if there are any new posts.  Am I right in thinking that any Thread Folders that contain new posts have a star symbol over them?
 
I've found that on looking down the right hand side of the screen, at the time a last post was posted, some of the threads don't have a "star" over them, or is it just me.

Re: New Posts
Could we not have, on the main page, the star symbol over the forums with recent posts?.  It doesn't appear to be working like the old forum did.

It doesn't work like the old forum, it is fundamentally different and so cannot be made to have exactly the same functionality as the old forum had.
 
New post tracking is one area where it is simply going to be different from now on, the technical complexity of recreating the functionality that the old site had is huge and would take a dedicated team months to implement a system which works in the same way as vBulletin.
 
I hope the current system will be ok and that people will learn to like it as much as the old forum.

Re: New Posts
Thanks for the reply Tom, I just found it easier to look to see if there was a star over the Forum Folder, as the New Posts don't tell you what Forum they are from.
