What Gryph said.

But here's a tip - once the thread loads click on the 'View All' link *IN* the thread view. DCF actually has *two* Viea All modes - one is the .html static view, which is what you get first, the other is dynamically generated. In the second you'll get the 'New' icons to tell you which posts are new.

Yeah, I know, weird. DCF has grown kind of organically and the latter mode was added recently while the former has been around for ages.
