Number of posts in thread since last visited

I hadn't thought about that and it seems like that would do the trick for a slower forum-- I'd like to see it.

The reason I descibed it the way I did is I'm looking at moving an extremely active (5,000+ new posts/replys every month) WebX community over to VB. They can see with each refresh of the thread-listing's page how many new posts are on each thread since they last openned them (even if it's only been 30 seconds).
I'd like to not alienate anyone from the boards simply because they don't like the change.
It'd be easier if people accepted change as easily as myself-- but most people don't and there-in lies my problem.

What I'm looking at doing is creating a carbon copy of the current WebX layout (at least on the surface) with VB in order to allow the members to make a smooth transfer over to the new boards with a minimum amount of problems.

Basically, if it looks the same, works the same, they'll think it is the same-- even though it isn't the same.

Am I making sense?

And if anyone wonders why I'm moving to VB over WebX-- it's because WebX is overpriced, underpowered, and is more of a bandwidth hog than UBB.
