Hey Peter,

The reason for the last post is to let you know if there is activity on a board. Actually, this is probably the feature that I use the most. I can scan down that list to see if anyone has posted today (of course I can also use new_posts).

True. It is in the instructions though. Easy to remove if you don't like it.

I will think about this. I had not considered international date types.

I released 0.7.1 with some minor updates and now will work on 0.7.5 which will have bigger fixes and new features.
