"New" notification
Is there some way to see when reading a forum what messages are new, as there was in the older forum? It seems like it's kinda guesswork right now, unless I overlooked something.
EDIT: Looking a bit more, I see that the topics I've read are no longer bold. So that indicates the topics, but is there something in the thread indicating what actual posts are new? Also, is there a "Mark Forum as Read" button that I'm missing?

So there's no hope for a "Mark as Read" button?

RE:
It just makes things less cluttered, at least how I see it. I dunno. I use the function on other forums, I just like things to all be uniform and then the non-uniform stuff to be the stuff I haven't seen yet. Does that make sense? I guess if I'm the only one asking for it, don't worry about it.
All around, though, I dig the new forum.

RE:
Along these lines, is there a way to put the bold on the Forum Index page? I tend to find my self abandoning the site a lot by default when I come to the forum index page and see all of the topics not bolded. It's an indicator to me that there is no new content.
I also like the idea from the old forum whereby all threads are marked as read upon closing the session. At least, I think that's how it used to work.
I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.

RE:
I'm trying to work out a way to do this without it being awkward. I think automatically marking all topics as read at the end of a session defeats the purpose of having unread topics marked; either you've read a topic since the last reply or you haven't. However, I could see some users who would want only to see topics that have received a reply since their last visit marked.
I guess it's a question of what the marker means. Does it mean that the topic has had activity that you haven't seen yet, or is it simply a notification that something has occurred since your last visit?
I'll probably roll these two options up into a user preference and let the user determine the behavior.
