The Updates page recently had some improvements with date selection templates and options to include/exclude own content and viewed content. Forum replies that was previously found in the comments list are now merged with topics and presented as forum posts.

I've also implemented view logging in all sections, which was a prerequisite to make the conditional icons on unread content in the lists. Oh, and configs are now included. Forgot about that in the last run.

I think Updates in the current state is a pretty useful tool to catch up or to present a nice overview of new content, but let me know if you got any further suggestions or if there are still things that annoys you about it.

How about sizing up the updates box. It's really unnecessary to make the box so small when half of the web page will be background coloring with no content

Oh and in case it's user specific, i'm running on 1600*1200 Opera 12.02

What is the updates box?

I think he means the box where the unread forum links etc. are displayed which is indeed a little short.

Still not sure, but does the current adjustment match the suggestion?

Yes, I like this better. Awesome !
