Counters after unread and unread replies

Post by sc00zy » Mon Sep 26, 2005 2:06 am

It would be a nice feature to have counters after the following two lines:

Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.


So it looks something like:

Show unread posts since last visit (56).
Show new replies to your posts (0).


It would save a lot of unnecessary mouse clicks :)

Thanks for the suggestions.. we will consider it.. however we feel the current forum setup is 'stable' and are working on higher priorities at the moment.

FYI adding those links/counters will add to the overall mysql queries. SMF is very efficient, I will certainly think hard before implementing an increase in queries on the forums.
