I'm getting requests for an option that allows members to click on, that will show only posts that have been posted since their last visit.Other forums have this option and it is quite nice. When you click on it, a list appears with only those posts so you can go through them. They also have an option of marking all posts as read.

For now I have told them to click on the category bars to see all the new posts, but I have 4-5 category bars for them to click on to see everyting. It dosen't really bother me, but it is all about keeping the members happy.

Just some thoughts for possible enhancements down the road.

That option already exists.  All they need to do is to scroll down to the bottom of the forum and click the button that says:
Newest Posts Across All Categories

In the classic theme set up, these options that you speak of are not there. I do remember seeing them on the other themes.

I do have the recent posts in the side bar, but it shows all recent posts, not just the ones you have not read yet.

thanks kjt, on the classic theme those buttons are not there, you can click 'see more' on your 'Recent Posts' widget to be taken to this page:

You can also switch to one of the other themes without any negative effects to your forum.

Thanks chief...I had already discovered the "See More" option, but is there any way of seeing just the posts you have not already read?

there's no way to see only unread posts, but that's why we color code the posts, so you can see unread vs. read.

also, here's another view that may be of help to you (this is linked on the non classic themes as well):

if you like it, you could put a link to it in your sidebar with the Custom HTML or 'Links' widget.
