view post since last visit button on Zetaboards. will this ever be possible? I really think the lack of this option is a major minus for Zetaboards.

I would love to see this as well. Active Topics only covers the last 24 hours, I believe, no?

That's correct.

I'm usually online a few times a day so the Active Topics list works a treat for me. :P

But for members who aren't able to be online consistently, not having a quick and easy way to view posts since last visit can actually discourage those members from participating more frequently. :/

I agree it isn't an issue for those of us able to log in daily, but we have many members who are working parents, which means their online time is limited. So anything that will make their online experience easier, more enjoyable, and also encourage them to spend what online time they have in a ZB forum instead of other sites, is a win for all of us. :)

Agreed! cnm and paradise. I would love to see something implemented that not only would show what was new since you last visited, but that you could choose how far back to go. Like a week, two weeks, a month , etc.. Now THAT would be a handy tool.

This.

When I have to work and I get all stressed out and tired after work, I go to sleep. Sometimes I work double shifts. Basically it's been over a day since I've been on the computer and I have to go into each forum that has new posts to view the new posts. This can be time consuming and overwhelming. Not to mention, when you go on trips.

I agree completely, I forgot to mention that in my earlier post. :P A feature of this kind would be fantastic.

Excellent, if more people agree, we might have a real chance with this!

I also will support this idea, it for sure will not hurt anyone. I always was wondering why there is an option of "Mark all topics as read", while there is no option for: "view posts since last visit".

I definitely agree. I'd love to see something like this appear on ZB.
