I am not sure if this will be news to anyone, but figured I would post it anyway.
I run around on a handful of forums each day, using shortcuts in my toolbar for each one. A lot of the VBulletin boards (the software used for this forum) have a "New Posts" link as well as the "Today's Posts" link that is available on this site. I always link to the "New Posts" page for the forums; that way I can see all of the new posts since I last logged on instead of flipping through all of the different sections, or being directed to the last post of every thread that I click on. It is not a visible link here, but is still an active function. For anyone interested, here is the link:
