Hey,
Yes you can do that already actually - at the top left there's a "Quick links" section and you can select "New Posts" and it will give you a list of all new posts.

Excellent. I didn’t see that at first, because it’s necessary to be logged in for the “New Posts” option to appear. (Reading on an iPad.) Now that I’m logged in, it’s there.

On a similar topic, how can I get alerts (emails) when a new post is added?
In the VANSAirforce site I get alerted everyday for new activity on the RV-12iS, would like something similar in this forum.

Can it be done/ How?

Thanks!

You can subscribe to a forum to be notified about new posts if you scroll to the bottom and click "subscribe forum", so if you want to be notified about TSi posts, you'd go to the TSi board, scroll down and click on subscribe forum.

Philip, I'm still not getting any notifications. My email is correct in my profile and I have seen a few new posts in boards I have subscribed...?

Make sure you set your notification settings appropriately to receive email, the defaults for the most part are that you'll see a Notification highlight under Notification at the top right the next time you visit the forum to keep things performant, but you can activate the setting to also get emails for replies to forums you are subscribed to in there:

Thanks but no thanks. I don’t need more emails. I want to simply go to the forum when I can, and then select a link (button). And see the new forum posts I haven’t seen.
