I have the feeling I'm just being incredibly dense again, since I can't imagine everyone else doing things the way I do them now. When I am in a thread on a board and want to go to the next thread, the only way (or better: the fastest way) to get to the next unread thread is to click 'Home', then re-enter the board page, then click the next thread. Clicking on the drop-down menu at the bottom doesn't help either, because if I select the same board as the one the current thread is in, I stay in the current thread. As there are often multiple threads with new posts on a single board, I (lazy, I know) would like a way to go directly to the next thread, maybe with a 'Next Topic' button. Or am I just missing something very obvious?

And to preempt the question: Win2K and IE6.

What OS and brow... oh. damn. never mind.

Right above the table, there's a line that looks something like "DROD.net Forum : The Site : 'Next Topic' button"

The first two are links! You can click on 'The Site' to go back to the thread index for that board.

But you know... since we have the unread list, I suppose it wouldn't be hard to add a "Go to next unread thread" button. Hmm...

That's what I think he's asking for.

It might be easier to just do "next topic" and "previous topic" buttons. And they can be different colors based on whether they have new posts or not.

Game on
