That's very true...

I'm a big fan of a "one-click let's see what's been happening" button for an internet forum, but you make a good point.

This particular forum is one of the coolest, most well-designed ones I've seen.

I just get distracted a lot by things I shouldn't waste precious mental processing cycles on...overheating is a mutha...

Maybe instead of having that complicated feature, I should just look at the forums I want to read, as you suggested, and then crank on some of the work piling up on my desk instead of hitting of topic stuff.

cheers!
