Reading Only New Posts

Some of my users have asked if there is a way for them to see only new posts since their last visit. I'm new to this whole thing, and I don't see an option for this in the settings. I have noted that they can bookmark a thread to be notified about new postings, but I don't think this is what they're really looking for.

In The info' centre at the bottom of your forum, there's a section called 'forum statistic'. There you'll see View the x most recent posts of this forum. Set 'x' to a number of your choice.(default is 10, minimum is 1, maximum is 100). Clicking on that, brings up the last posts. Mine is set at 25.

To set your number: Admin>settings>display recent posts.

Thanks. That's what my users have been doing, but they want to be able to go directly only to the posts they haven't read. Apparently, they're checking in multiple times a day

If they click on the 'new' icon next to the topic name, or even in the last post column, it will go directly to the latest post in that topic.
