I agree, both would be of value to have. I'll have to defer this to Pat though since I don't have access to these setting and so I don't know if it's an available feature of php or not. In case Pat is not aware, vBulletin had "view new posts" and "view today's posts". I like php's "new" posts since on vBulletin, once you read a post, it left the list. Here, if you read it, the icon just goes from red to gray for a while, which is handy. "Today's" posts were simply all those from the past 24 hours, read or otherwise.
