When you're browsing a given forum as a repeat visitor - there are probably only five to ten threads updated since your last visit, and it's nice that you have the visual identificaiton on next to the thread with the red folder rather than yellow to clue you in that there are new posts....

When where are multiple pages on a thread and you click on the title, wouldn't it make more sense to make it default to the LAST page in the thread rather than the first?

This would particularly make sense for the "5 Most recent Topics" menu on the left - Every time I click there I then have to be on the lookout for multi-page threads and go to last page.

Can it be expanded from 5 most recent to N most recent? I'd love to be able to get all updated threads across all forums since I last logged in to scan what I'm interested in. This would be useful and cut down on forum navigation time.

Awesome site, thanks for running it - to have a US focused MINI discussion cuts down on tte confusion I get from the euro sites and the different options/packages/products/etc. available there vs. here. You rock.
