Is it possible to sort new messages by Forums? Currently itīs only listing all messages regardless in which forum it was posted. Is there a plan to include an option that allows users to view new messages listed by forums?

example:

Forum1
- New Messages since last visit
Forum2
- New Messages since last visit
...
...

Donīt know if that was allready discussed here ;)

It's possible to use links such as:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew&forumid=1
To get new posts for a specific forum, but I don't believe the links are present anywhere. You should be able to add them yourself though, through the templates.

Hm... but that would only help for ONE forum. Itīs not a good option for an overview. I would really like too see such an option because it would help you to get a quick overview of whatīs going on in different forums.

If a template modification won't do this, then 2 lines of PHP will.

Right now, the getnew sorts by date. You would need to change the SQL Query to sortby forumid.
