: I think I might have already found the perfect solution:

: The "View recent posts" hack
: http://www.phpbbhacks.com/viewhack.php?id=450

: Does that sound like what you have in mind? The only problem is that this mod was written for version 2.0.1 and I'm running 2.0.6. I think it should still work, though...

: : Man... some people! ;-)

: : I'll see what I can do. I know that the board does provide a link on the upper right when you log in which says "View posts since last visit." It uses cookies on the browser to determine when you visited last and then does a search on the new messages. Also, there's a link at the top level of each subject that goes directly to the latest post in that thread. Also, the icons for the threads change to indicate whether there are new posts in that thread.

: : You do raise a good point, and one of the main reasons I chose phpBB is that it is easy to modify and highly extensible, so I will see what else I can do...

: : Thanks,
: : Scott

If it works (and if it's free!), go for it! While I'm not really familiar with BB systems (and sorry if you covered this already. I don't pay attention very well), you might want to make it so that anonymous users can't post images to the boards. Should keep some really offensive stuff off the board....
