Bryan, this doesn't come under the heading of bug or anything. But allow me to describe a feature I think would be a wonderful addition to SI, provided those wizards of HTML could design it. Let's say you're on a thread looking at a post. Or you're in your portfolio looking at your stocks. Now visualize those little links that say "news". It would be great if a little-tiny number appeared next to the "news" link indicating whether there was a new news item that you had not read or none at all. I envision it working very similar to the inbox feature. You don't have to check whether you have a message and how many, because a little red number appears next to it. I can't tell you how many times I have clicked one of my stocks news links and found out there is nothing new! I know I went on-and-on, but I really wanted to make clear what I was trying to describe. I've mentioned it in the past via email and such, but never received a response. I believe adding this feature would be a real "value added improvement" to SI. Best, Mike
