This Canadian dude has a question...

I use this method as well, this way I can either use the "action" pane to bookmark and read through later or post to add it to my "participated" threads.

@snarky412, @solarius,

I'll offer yet another path to "Newness." Try clicking on one of the bars that has the category title on it. I think "Hernando's Hideaway" is the top one. It will cause all of the material in that category to be "swallowed up." When there is a new post anywhere in Hernando's Hideaway, the words "There's a new post here." will appear next to the category title.

Click on the bar and the boards in the category will open up, and if there is a new post in that board you'll see the word "New" on the folder on the left hand side. Click on that board and the threads will appear, again with the word "new" over on the left.

Choose what ever method pleases you.

In fact, a cute little bunny has just supplied us with a program which provides another way to see new activity. I haven't installed it yet, but I will in a few minutes.
