"Log me on automatically each visit"
If you check this you won't need to re-log in when you come back to the board.
ALSO:
If you click "Board Index" at the top of the page, you'll see a link for "view new posts." This will show only posts since your last visit. Any topic with a little orange symbol:
![Image](http://www.ichiban1.org/board/styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_topic_newest.gif)
Has new posts.
Or, when a post is made in a topic it will also pop back to the top of the list, so you can just keep an eye on the top and you'll be good.
