I have spent the last couple of days exploring the new TDP forum and have really enjoyed the speed, layout and of course Smileys. But I am a creature of habit and have grown accustom to being able to see the most recent posts when I logon. With the new forum its not quite as easy as the old one was, but I did figure out a way and thought I would share it. I am probably the last one to figure this out, but just in case someone else is interetsed----here it is"

1. from the forum main page select "advanced search" at the top.
2. then go to the "additional options" section toward the bottom of the search page
3. Set up your paremeters of choice----I chose anything a week old or newer
4. Save the settings and choose "search now"
5. now save that page as a "favorite" or on your "favorite bar" and name the link something you like, I named mine TDP Forums.

Now all you have to do is hit that link and all of the most recent posts pop up.
If you use a browser other that IE, then just bookmark the search url by whatever method your browser requires

Oh, you do have to be logged in for this to work.

If you have figured out any handy tips or tricks with the new forum, please do share
