How about a place to make them?

I for one would like to see a "View first unread post" button or the option of making it automatic,

I would also like to point out the little donate button. Hosting is not free. Marsh has donated a valuable resource, and I would like to see him recieve at least a token payment for what he has provided.

click on the show unread post since last visit, then click on the blue new icon and it will take you directly to the new posts so you don't have to sort thru everything.

you can also go to the bottom of the home page where the stats are and click on most recent posts but they run backwards,newest to oldest.

Bill, I think Mark about covered it.  Also, I did make a "Sugestions" topic here in "General Discussion"....but maybe it is not obvious.  You are probably right...I should probably make a MAIN category called Site Suggestions (edit: NOW DONE!), that way it won't get buried in this general category...which will probably happen within a week...

I'm going to get that link about Recent Posts up in the header instead of buried in the stats section soon...

And let me say THANK YOU for your donation!  I'm not really sure what this site will end up costing...it will depend upon members and usage...but I'm happy to provide it!  And I know that awesome guys like you will end up reducing the costs for me...so thanks again!

How bout a little flag icon thing, whatever the fuck ya call 'em, for when you bookmark the page into your favourites?
You know, for when you open up your Boomarks, there's an icon thingy?

Bill, IIRC you can ignore folks by adding their handles in your profile area... pretty cool stuff huh?

No need, I aint scared of ideas or opinions that differ from my own (mostly)

I thought it would be nice to make a great big button for the meek.

How about an 'Active Topics' page?

Like this one:

It's for those of us who are topic-neutral.
