Ahh, okay, for some reason, I thought that would show individual _posts_, not threads.
So if the "view new posts" link was available at the bottom of the page, that would make me equally happy. It's the bottomness that I'm really hoping for
Thanks,

EDIT: actually, "view new posts" only shows a few (like, three) recently updated threads; "view active topics" shows a lot more than that. So "view new posts" doesn't really suit MY needs as well as "view active topics." VAT shows, I dunno, twenty or so threads, some of which have updates since my last visit and some of which don't. Right now, at least, the first three entries in VAT are the VNP lists.
EDIT: something else that would be nice to have would be a "mark all threads read" on the "view active topics" page. For me, the nice thing about the VAP page is that it lets me look at the updated threads I'm interested in, and once I'm done, it would be nice to have the link there to mark everything else read. But, yeah, I can go back to the Board Index page and do it from there.
