This thread has generated several good suggestions for making it easier to find new replies to old nodes including changes to newest nodes and writing your own client.

I thought you'd like to know that my newest nodes client xNN has this capability. In threaded mode, only nodes whose parent is a new node are threaded in nested lists, replies to older nodes are listed in a seperate table after the threads. Since each reply in the 'replies to older nodes' table also has a link to its parent node represented by node id, it's easy to tell how old each reply's parent is.

Here's some sample output from today:

Replies to older nodes

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
