Probably impossible on the venerable old SS TMP, but could a small bubble appear on the Home Page index of posts when a new post is made? It would have to respond after you access the thread and someone posts again.

Certainly, after the thread title there's a number indicating the number of responses but I don't always remember how current this is. And there are threads that attract replies over quite a time period.

The bubble could be red with white lettering. Wishful thinking, I know.

What about allowing you to mark a topic that you are following, so you get a PM if someone adds a new post?

I started to implement that years ago, but got busy with something else…

That would work.

I just try to remember how many posts there were in a thread the last time I checked it out.
If "What are the facing colors on the Slobbovian Leib Grenzers" had 6 posts this morning, and 8 at night, I check it out.
It's definitely NOT foolproof, and I'm the fool with the proof. 😄

Some, like the Ultramodern ones on Iran, I just check automatically, to see who I've annoyed.

Go to places that have a email sent if a new post but don't like that as don't go many places I won't notice it anyway

Who makes the Slobbovian Leib Grenzers?
