Yes! I have a ton of filters on my friendslist to reduce this problem, but that
still
doesn't cover extended absences.
Perhaps a clean way to do this, if the 'previous entries' feature literally
cannot go
back ad infinitum, would be to make a calendar page similar to how one can
view calendar pages for an individual journal - only in this instance it would
be for
one's entire friendlist. So, for instance, if I went on vacation for a few
weeks and
knew I hadn't seen anything since a given day (or close enough), I could go back
to that date on my Friendlist Calendar and start from the day I left.

Also a solid idea - I'm not a coder, but is that a type of flag that could be
created,
one the user could hit to indicate 'last post read'? Further, is that something
that
could be used to make it a single-button click to hit the first post after the
last one
you read?
I can think of reasons both to make it automated (in case of browser crashes)
and
not (same browser issue, but if you've opened multiple posts in tabs, without
having read
any but one of the tabs, and then you have a browser crash: how would the
system decide
what the last thing you really read was?).
