I want to see EVERYTHING that was posted on a day, or yesterday or since a day.

It wants to require me to be more specifc.

If I accidentally ditch out before i have looked at all the messages "new" since my last visit, i can't find out what they were!

Correct. You can look at the main page, and look at a section, and the date of the last post.

ouch.

thanks though.

If you go to the stats page there is link there for all the new posts from the last 24 hours.

Thank you! that is a slightly more attractive option!
