The problem is finding out where the new reply is at. Say there are 30 replies in a thread, you've seen the thread before but not for a couple of days. Now, to jump to the newest unread reply I have to find out where that is. I know the last time that you visited the forum, so I can find out what replies are new since you last visited but where do they fall in the chain of replies? I could do a little more code and extract this out as well, but this has to be done for every new thread that is displayed on the postlist screen.
Like I said, it can be done, but in this case the postlist screen is one of the most heavily hit files and any increase in processor time to run this file adds up quickly.
I'll figure out a way to do this eventually, but sometimes it's a bit harder than it looks to do it properly.[]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/].
