"New Posts Since Last Visit" Missing in IPB 3.x.... Why?

My members really want this and also "active topics". When they come back to the site most of them go for these links immediately to find out "what's new" and "what's hot" since they last visited.

View New Content is the name as New Posts Since Last Visit... just worded different ;)

This was replaced in 3.0.1 actually :) http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/288159-invision-power-board-3-0-1-released/

Tell them to go into their settings and change their settings to the following (New in 3.01).

I can't tell every member this though. It would be nice to have a link on the forum page by default that says "View New Posts". Also a direct link to the Messenger. People complain they can not find it (new users especially don't even know it is there).

I find on the new skin that things are burried too deep in the GUI and the frequently used items are hard to find.

I have posted SQL queries that can be run to update all members :)


But then the new ones still have issues....
