In theory, I agree. In practise, that is not the way it works. I have
never, in the years that I've been on the xaraya forums, managed to
sign in and get any posts listed under the "Topics since last visit".
The time of my last visit is always listed as the current time (so
therefore no posts to show, natch!).
This is not a new issue (I started a thread in Aug 2006 about it and
it is bug 5774), I just mention it now as it is a useful feature that
would help the forums.

"View your topics" and "View unanswered" do work as advertised.
