A number of forums I frequent have that type page, and people wail if it stops working. I myself never use them. I go for the index page, and look for the sections with a new message indication. So if current events and llamas have new posts, I open them, otherwise I keep looking. Having new posts in no apparent order other than time doesn't speak to me. I know some forums, maybe even this one, lets one "subscribe" to threads. You get emails telling you someone responded to your posts? Well, geez, I am gonna check in anyway, why clutter up my email? I will see there are responses in the index symbols.
I am open to other uses.
