Just a suggestion but, how about introducing a button that you press to get taken to the first unread post on a thread?

On the other forums I use it is a handy little feature, especially on a popular thread where you may miss a few pages at a time!

A good example would be the "Pick your fish" game. when you open the thread and go to the last page you end up skipping back a few to find where you last read to before heading to the end again.

Personally, I rarely remember threads well enough for that to help me, but I do use "new reply" buttons that show a list of threads I've participated in that have had new replies since my last login.

I just hit New Posts every few minutes.

In my dream world, there would be a "reply" under each post so that members would know when they received a direct reply altho all members can still read the posts. When you enter the forum, you just click on "Messages to me" and anyone who responded to you would be right there so no messages are missed. It would eliminate many of those constant quoting of messages.

Everything depends on the software here that is available to V-Bulletin boards and I don't think neither of these options are for the taking.
