Homestar Runner Wiki Forum

A feature that I've seen implemented on forums using the same software as this one (I'm guessing it's called phpBB) has a login welcome screen before the initial forum screen with a list of recent new topics and activity. Like, if you were to visit forum.hrwiki.org, you would either...

A.) Have a list of all activity since your last visit. (i.e. any new posts in any set # of topics since YOUR last visit, unique to individual users)

or

B.) Just a list of recent activity. Like the last 10 topics to have posts added to them.

For me, I always enjoy this feature on other forums. It makes participating in conversations easier since you can, on one screen, essentially see all the current topic activity.

Since these other forums I visit are using the same software for their forums, I just guessed it could most likely be done here too. It would be a most nifty feature addition to the forum. They only recently added it to the other forum I visit about a year or two ago.

BTW, one of those forums that supports this that I mentioned is at http://www.anime-beta.com/

I just thought it would be a good suggestion to do the same. I don't see why not?

I've known those to be useful, in other forums.
Good idea.

Look up on the right corner of the index page (Just above the "Last Post" text). There should be a link that says "View posts since last visit". It requires an extra click, but saves us the trouble of trying to play around with a potentially buggy mod.
