// OPERA USERS:
// This script has been tested as working in Opera 9.26 for Windows. You will need

// DONE 2008-07-18
// * Add "nn since the last comment you read" links to the "recent activity" page
// TODO
// * Mark the last comment if scrolled to the bottom (Opera)
// * Indicate marked comment(s) for "recent activity" page
// * Allow mark moving on "recent activity" page
