First, it's a wonderful site, you do a wonderful job, you're a wonderful guy, and all that usual stuff. [:D]

But:

One tiny little thing could be improved, I think.  If the cookies for "last time visited" could be for each individual board, rather than one global one for everything?

Reasoning:  I don't necessarily hit the BIY board every time that I read the GD board.  In fact, I've been lazy lately and sometimes have skipped the BIY board for days at a time (to my detriment -- I could've called TapCo on Friday if I'd read the board Thursday night).  So, if the cookie is global to all boards (the current situation), I lose track of what I haven't seen on the BIY board if I look at the GD board.

??  Are you storing the data at AR15.com?  I thought these were just browser cookies.

I think the cookies translate code retained by  the server as to which threads were active when you last visited.

The cookie puts the info on your computer- the AR15.com servers make the code translations which give you the little "Pink" folders for new threads.

Plus, AR15.com is a government institution, meant to compile dossiers on gun owners.
