A few minor changes/enhancements yesterday.
First off, for registered users, the forums now report the number of new posts since the last time you viewed each forum index. It doesn't count views of the main page, or of individual comments, just the bare indices.
This change takes effect on the forum indexes themselves, above each comment display, and in the recent threads boxes (where the number of new and total posts are now reported like this: (new/total).
As a side effect, comments also now report the number of registered users who have viewed each comment.
Secondly, a bit of code in the system that allowed forum posts to be included in user ratings was inadvertently left commented out; as a result the user ratings have changed a bit.
