A suggestion:

Is it possible to have the read/unread threads color coded? For example, all threads that you have read will be color coded blue (the title of the thread). Any NEW threads or NEWLY POSTED content within a previously viewed thread could be color coded as red. I hope this makes sense, and if it doesn't, i'll can provide an example to the admin(s) if they are interested.

Of course the colors are of the admins discretion. I'm just throwing out examples from other sites i am affiliated with. I feel it may be easier and faster to navigate through threads....especially when you are at work.
