I'm sure many of us has this problem.

You come onto SMC, you see many sections that has new topics and posts, but after looking at a few of them, you lost the "indicators" at the left hand side of the screen.

Well, there's an easier way to know which are the topics that are active for the day.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen, you will notice that next to "The moderating team" (which lists the moderators of the forum), you see a "Today's active topics".
By clicking on that link, you will see a list of the threads that had been active for the day.

So, never miss a "happening" thread again, and you don't have to go thru all the sections of the forum to see what's new.
