Love the new section, the only other thing I can recommend is a way to mark forums as "Read", so that way new posts show up more prominently. I'm on a couple of "EZ Board" hosted sites that use that feature, and it makes it easy to see what's been posted since the last time I visited.

The best way to do that is Humuhumu's method (set your preferences Theme to "tiki Central Highlights"), then just read the topic to mark it as read. You'll notice that all unread topics are bright yellow, read ones are orange-yellow.

This will keep track of the messages you already read. If you're just looking for topics that have changed since the last time you visited (regardless of whether you're reading them), just look for the red folder on the main page.

This is the best I can offer for now.

The forum currently keeps track of new topics purely by date (in other words, it compares the date of the last time you logged in to the dates of Topics, then it marks topics that are newer as "new"). For me to add topic-by-topic marking functionality would require a complete rewrite of the way that works ... something I don't think I have the skill to do!
