Showing all post since last visit as messages and in printable format

[Palestras]

vBulletin shows "New Posts" as threads.

Making "New Posts" visible "as messages" and in printable format would be absolutely great since that would mean a user may have discussions printed, as if the forum was a mailing list, and that way vBulletin may capture a big chunk of the huge "mailing list" market. I still cannot understand why it has not been done, since all you need is a time stamp of last visit and search for posts after that visit, no cookies, no "viewed" flags complications.

It could be done too with the "search" if you were allowed to search with no keywords, you would also be able to get all messages since "last visit"

Or it would be extremely simple to be able to show all messages posted/edited between say 00:00 and 24:00 every day, in printable format. This is one of a database's simplest tasks. That would also make vBulletin as good as a mailing list, since messages could be read in printable format, and again with such a simple thing , vbulletin may take an enormous chunk of the huge "mailing list" market

I just cannot understand why that has not been done, or maybe it has been done and I just cannot find the option

I'd say that it would be:

http://www.vbulletin.nl/community/search.php?do=getnew

and adding to that the values of advanced search: &showposts=1

but that together won't work. Unfortn.

I would LOVE to know how to do this too.
