You may have already seen (and are using) the handy New Posts link to quickly and easily find new Posts in all the forums.
But there's another undocumented search function (getdaily) that's also very nice. Where the "New Posts" link (which is the getnew function) will show new posts since your last visit...The getdaily function will show all active threads in the last 24 hours, whether there's been new posts or not.
Here's the link:

Enjoy.

Easy, do the following:
1. Right-click on one of the links provided and do a "Copy Link Location" (or 'Copy Shortcut" in IE).
2. Create a new Favorite/Bookmark to anywhere (it don't matter because you're going to edit the URL).
3. Now right-click on that new Favorite/Bookmark and choose 'Properties'.
4. In the Location/URL field, select the link and delete it, then paste in the copied Search Link from step #1.
5. Change the name/description to whatever makes it easy for you to know the Search function that is being used
6. Press Okay.
Voila!! You now have a Bookmark/Favorite for that Search function. :)

Them directions are for either IE or FireFox my good man...Heck, you should be able to do those steps with ANY browser really.
Oh, and I'm an IE hater too, I've been using Firefox forever...
