Forums: option to show new replies first
If in the forums the last entry was shown first - so if you open a particular thread then the lastest contributions would be displayed first

If you come back to a forum after you've been a way for a while, the number of new posts will show up as a pink link. If you click on this link, it will take you directly to the new posts. See screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/QVwmAVQ.png

There is a "first unread" button at the top of each thread if there are new items since you last looked at it that you can click on and it takes you to the first comment you haven't read. I use that button all the time and it works great.

This is common sense logic. I belong to a lot of online forums and they all use the "most recent comment at the top" protocol. This makes things sooooooo much easier.
