Once you open a thread it shows a different color in the listings than the ones you haven't opened. So if a new post is added to that thread, the listing goes back to yellow, and then, once you've opened it is turns to a beige or orange color. So you will get an indicator that new posts have been added.
You can also set your preferences to have the newest posts appear on top.
There are a number of features and changes still to be done. Naturally the more people that get a look at the forum, the more different points of reference will get mentioned, requested, questioned, and so forth. We have submitted a lengthy list of items desired, must-haves, please fix etc. Which is being prioritized and worked on. Please enjoy the forum, as we were about three weeks without it.
