hello dear WR mods!

i just realized yesterday that you can sort threads in a forum by clicking on the "thread starter" column. this is a great tool. i've known for a while that when you post a comment to a thread, a little check mark appears next to that thread, and when you see that thread again, you know you've already viewed it. this is also a great tool. i really don't know anything about more advanced web programming*, but i thought it would be pretty cool if you could sort all the threads in a forum by viewed/unviewed. i have no clue if this is easy to do or not, and by no means am i complaining that WR is too complex to use, but if it's not a difficult task, i think it would make WR even better. just a thought.

thanks for keeping WR running! if i wasn't a broke-ass college student, i'd pitch in the $5 a month to help out. the sweet lord knows it's worth it!

* i can design, i know some flash and i can make links, that's about it.

Not sure about a special sort for viewed/unviewed, however there are a couple other options you may not be aware of.

The first is that you can go into your User Control Panel (User CP link at top left of our forum page) and you can see all of the threads you have subscribed to...if you are using our default profile settings that will be any thread you have posted in.

The next thing is under the "Quick Links" menu at the top right of our forum page where you can select "New Posts" and this will show you a list of all threads/posts made since your last visit.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think our Site Admin is likely to bite at that idea.

cool, thanks for the heads up - i didn't know about the 'new posts' option. i'll have to give it a try.
