When I come back after a while not looking at the forum there's often 100's if not 1000's of new posts. If when I clicked on 'New Posts' link it (could be by choosing) or was (by default) sorted according to the different forum and/or grouped intro threads in the different forums, it would be so much more efficient .

I could pick and choose what to read (by thread/forum) according to topics I'm interested in reading...whereas now I'm faced with stupidly browsing page after page of posts to try and pick the gems I'd like to read from the multitude of conversations.
