Perhaps not now but EVENTUALLY...

Is there anyway of doing the "View todays topics" thingymajig ?

[Joey]

Aha! It was Sheena who asked for this! I knew I remembered this request somewhere.

Well, there is an Active Topics list. On the forum menu page, towards the top-right of the screen, there's an option to 'View New Posts' which is what you're after.

[Joey]

Oh, but once you open a thread within that, there's no link to go back to the 'View New Posts' list. The only way around it is to hit back on your browser and then press 'refresh'.
