Just a couple of details.

Stickies have this icon: Sticky Small wether or not there are new posts in them. It would be good to have a way to see if there are new posts in stickies.

In the "Last post" coloumn in the forums, it says the time of the newest post and the poster, but there's not a link to the thread.

When I return to a forum from a thread, the page is not refreshed, so that the thread is still marked as having unread posts. This is quite annoying, as it gets hard to keep track of which threads I've read and which threads I've not read when there are many new posts. The same is true for entering subforums from the main forum.

Subforums are marked as having unread threads as long as a single thread in it has unread posts. This can be annoying if there's a thread I'm not interested in in a subforum, I still have to enter it every time a reply is posted in it or else the forum will be marked as having unread posts constantly. It was more practical the way the old forum handled this, subforums were marked as having no new posts after you had entered them.

I understand that some of these may be impractical to implement, and I guess lots of things are being fixed right now (the suggestions forum is the subforum with the highest number of threads right now).

Unfortunately, each one of those suggestions would require me to modify the board's source code, which is something I'd rather not do at this time. Stickies can be changed to announcements where frequent updates are expected, as they will allow you to see new posts. Stickies aren't generally meant for use in threads that are expected to be busy.
