Yeah the problem is I think of stuff I have seen a day or two before but it is hard to find when previously read thread don't show up any more. Would it be too difficult to change the forum I am sure there are others who have the same problem?

Dave, I find this incredibly annoying too. If I've posted to a thread, it's because I'm interested in it - I sometimes re-read previous posts or indeed my last in case I need to edit things. Ironically, often the easiest way is to fire up Rebreather World without logging in, where you see everything. On SWM you get the option to see everything posted within 24 or 48 hours - I think this is similar to what Janos has posted. You then get everything, new or not.

I wouldn't mind, but you can't trust the "New Posts" function. Sometimes, many times actually, it misses a new post for some reason. Just vBulletin being flakey I guess - nothing Stuart could do about it.

I guess you could subscribe to each thread, but it would be nice just to have the option to see everything in the last 24 hours as well, if you wanted to.
