In summary, the conversation is about the "similar threads" feature at the bottom of each post. Some members have recently noticed it, while others have been using it for a while. Some people miss it because they don't scroll to the bottom of the page, while others who use quick reply may notice it more. Some find it useful for finding unrelated threads to read.

What a great feature!

I have just recently caught on to the "similar threads" at the bottom of each post.

Is this something new? or have I just missed it until now?

I'm pretty sure it was added when Greg did the last software upgrade a few days ago.

That's correct. I think most people are unaware of it.

I don't know how you can miss it if you were used to the older style. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

A lot of people don't scroll to the bottom of the page.

I use quick reply nearly all the time because I'm lazy so I guess I would probably notice it more.

I often use quick reply, but didn't notice until someone posted a thread about it. I don't often scroll far enough past the quick reply box, just get it onto the bottom of the screen, so didn't notice it there.
