My "view posts since last visit" tag appears to have disappeared? Is it there for other people?

that last one, unfortuntely, only works for messages sent after it was installed tonight. still, it rocks.
It truly does rock, Deb! It's just so much easier now that one works - no more flicking between windows, or "quoting" to see what you're replying to and then forgetting to delete the quote!

Brilliant, thanks. :D

What's the exclamation point? I noticed that it's new. Obviously, it's not a feature I can use, but I was just wondering what it is?
And yes, I *am* an angle. Because angles can be obtuse. And angel seemed too much of a cliche.

If you want to send a report to a mod, you click on the exclamation mark (it's just a shortcut to the "write a report" found at the top of the page) :)

it's part of an extension of the report system i'm trying to get to work. until i actually get it working, it points to the form. eventually it will allow you to report a specific post.

I think they're referring to the links at the top of the index page (on subsilver at least, they're on the righthand side, just above the box with all the forums in it)

View unread posts
View your posts
View unanswered posts

I hardly use them, so I don't know if they changed or not :-?
maybe 'unread posts' is the same as posts since last visit??
