Ok, so you've seen the changes. They're at the top and bottom for easy navigation.
Please note, if you use these links, refreshing the page will not actually refresh it and in fact will produce no results. This is simply because the forum has an annoying habit of stopping repeat searches within a certain timeframe.
Check it out for yourself, search for a word, then when the results appear press F5 or click refresh and you'll see that it stops you. Grrr
Anyway, I get around this by making the links link to the website instead. The website then generates a fake "different" link and redirects back to the forum. ;D It works nicely, but it means everytime you want this feature you must click the link.
The 24 hour link gives your a view by thread. Probably easier, though I may tweak it a bit.
We're getting quite a bit of traffic on here at the moment, which is fantastic ;D. But, I'm finding it hard to follow where I am up to, so I reckon this should help. I still am determined to find a way to get it to show you every post you haven't seen, but without you marking them as read. But at the moment I still have a life (just lol), so it is far too messy to get into.
I'm writing a pest section for the website, I'm using the thing from above to make it find relevant posts on this forum, both definites (one's I've actually tagged on here) and possible ones (containing various words).
So it can be manipulated a little here and there.
If there is anything you want, if it's a good suggestion and I can find a way of doing it, I will.

this website and forum were sorely needed. Thanks Paul for all your hard work and of course everyone who helps with the website.
