dd -- i use the new posts page almost exclusively to move around the site. if i am the last poster on a thread (or nothing has been posted since my last visit) it doesnt show up as a last post. on the other channel, my posts do show up on the page but the thread name is "dimmed" to show that nothing new has occured since my last visit. i really like this. would it be a difficult thing to do to make this small change on td? if i have spoken unclearly or stupidly, please forgive my ignorance. my computer skills and IT vocabulary are worse than my spelling. thanks
