is there a link for "Posts since my last visit" thing like we had at the old place?

There is yes, but its not very reliable.
When your at the highest level, there is an indicator, a speak bubble. But this doesn't always clear after you've read everything.
When your within a forum, the indicator that shows against each topic works as expected.
You could do what I do and use the Subscribe to Forum link from the bottom, then you can keep up to date on all forum activity without having to come back and check all the time

Sounds painful, but I'm going to give it a try. My PC at work chugs like a mo' fo' ko' at the best of times. Going in and out of the separate threads is going to reduce my productivity to almost nil!

you mean the RSS feeds right? e.g the buttons below 'subscribe to our rss' at bottom of pages
might just be me but im using Firefox 3.5.7 on Linux and they all work OK with the exception of the "Latest forum posts" one!
looking at the HTML i can see erroneous characters have sneaked in on line1 column1
this applies to the top level 'Subscribe to our rss' and on each individual forum too.
this works ok on ur Mac/Safari ?

Update: I can add the 'subscribe' feed directly into my RSS Reader fine though

A button that would show all new posts would be nice, but I'll make do with the little speech bubble on the topic sections telling me new posts for now.

The sibscribed spech bubble does seem to be working a bit more now, but I wish there was a way of it highlighting the the threads with new posts and not just listing them all, I have no idea if this is possible but would be cool.

yeah, the "posts since last visit" link is what i miss the most from the old home.
the drop-down "New/Recently Updated Posts" is ok but not quite same thing.
subscribing to the forum RSS feed works ok but since the posts arent threaded it looses some value imo
not that im complaining or anything – overall im v.happy with new place

Thanks for all your feedback guys.
While we share may of your opinions we are limited by the functionality of the forum software.
There's an updated version getting released soon and we'll be looking for opportunities to implement your requests where possible.
Phizzy has been instrumental in helping to keep this running as sexy as can be and continues to do so. He'll continue to twiddle knobs to make things even better over time. Thanks big guy!
If there was anybody I'd trust to fiddle with my zeros and ones it would be him!
