Hi guys.
Is there a "Show unread post" option on talk.maemo.org? I know about "New Posts", but it's pretty much useless to me
It would be cooler and more comfortable to read forums that way everyday.

In my browser, unread threads show in bold, and clicking on the replies count on the right of the thread takes you to the first unread post in the thread.
What I meant was that it's a search option that will show only unread posts
Hmm... just look at phpBB3 forums ( like http://www.phpbb.com/ theres a option "View unread posts" when you register )Does that help?

The "New Posts" link at the right will do that. It will show all the threads with new posts since you last visited the site. That's how phpBB does it as well. Can you explain why you find it useless?
You can also bookmark this link if you wish: http://talk.maemo.org/search.php?do=getnew
If you prefer a page that auto updates, you can use this: http://talk.maemo.org/vaispy.php

I know it's a small issue, but it would be cool if I had a choice.That's how phpBB does it as well.
"View new posts" (like on talk.maemo.org)
and
"View unread posts"
First one shows new post in threads and second one shows unread post and if i read that posts they disappear form it.
It's really better
It sounds the same, but it really, really isn't. I'm using this option several years on polish forums and it's more usable then the "new posts". Try it I'm not trying to make a fuss
Just saying.Thanks for the links. Especially second one... wow how cool
Online update.

If new posts are displayed instead of threads, then you'll have more pages to go through.
Because it displays posts that i read already and scrolling trough several pages is a pain

Being forced to look at individual messages would be to discard the thread abstraction. And that'd be bad.

EDITED: oww i didn't mention about option called "Mark all threads as read". When you out of interesting topics to visit you press that button and w8 for another posts
