Protoss, Hackie-

FUD has become a fantastic forums package! Thanks for all your hard work.

Just a suggestion:

When viewing the unread messages, I've noticed that when I've come to the last page, there is still a link that reads "More unread messages". Is there any way to that you could have that link disappear when one gets to the last page?

Not a big deal, but it would make FUD look a bit more polished.

The link is there, because the unread messages you are seeing will not get marked unread until that link is clicked upon. Coicedently, the same link would also show more unread messages if there any.

Another possibility would be to integrate a feature with the last 10, 20 or 50 postings for example like in the Woltlab-Forum (see attached screenhsot).
The advance here in comparison to the function "today's posts" is that the user doesn't have to read all messages. He can see with one short view the newest posting-topics and if he is interested in one of them, he can directly click on them.

Understood, but wouldn't it be more clear when the user reaches the end of the unread posts to have a link that said "Reset unread messages" instead of "More..." The link could even take the user back to the main forum page. See? Nice and clean!

You don't have to tell me that I am being picky 'cause I already know... Smile
