As much as I like this forum and especially the comments of Brian and Ian Hallam I find it a bit puzzling that one has to go through each tread to see if any new messages are posted. Could the software be adapted so that an asterix is shown next to a topics or treads name in the leftmost frame as soon as a new message is posted ? Otherwise the problem will only grow to a certain annoyance as more messages are streaming in. By the way: Your website is doing fine. Congratulations.
