Hello Charlie...I got to say, that is an awsome suggestion, and an easy one to program.
I don't know why I never thought of it but it would make my visits to forum 300% more "pleasured?!" eheh
I always click every post even if I dont want to see it, just so I know later when a new post or reply to a post is added with the (1) or (3), etc...
Ignore would be perfect, some posts have 0 interest to me :S
