I have no idea if anyone's suggested this before, but if you click (and hold) on the "New Posts" part of the tool-bar, then drag your mouse pointer onto the desktop and release the button - you create a desktop shortcut.

If you later double-click on that shortcut you'll open a browser window (if there isn't one open) and automatically get taken to a page of all the new messages since the last time you logged on.

... and if you drag it instead to the "quick launch" part of your toolbar (assuming you're using some recent version of Windoze) you don't even have to double-click, a single click will do.

Just think how much time you could save over the course of a year!

Only managed to get it onto my desktop at the moment, but it is still a TOP TIP. Thanks :flower:
