None that I know of. You could go about it by using custom search parameters already built into vB.

The url below will give you a list of all threads with posts since the users last visit sorted by the number of replies to those threads.

http://www.YOURSITENAME.com/forum/search.php?do=process&searchdate=lastvisit&beforeafter=after&sortby=replycount&order=descending&showposts=0&childforums=1

Use the search parameters below to customize it how you'd like. You may find something that'll give you exactly what you want.


The base URL will always be:

http://www.YOURSITENAME.com/forum/search.php?do=process

When you add a search parameter to the base URL it will be formatted like this:
