I've added a "what's new link" at the bottom, just to the right of the "next thread" link and it is very useful
Find in the Showthread template
PHP Code:
<a href="showthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}t={vb:raw threadid}&goto=nextnewest" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase next_thread}</a>
<strong>»</strong>
and add after
PHP Code:
<a href="search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post" rel="nofollow">What's New</a>
