Tell me how many deal alerts since last visit and return me to the correct place

A couple of requests:

1) Each time I return to slickdeals.net, I would like to know how many deal alerts I have gotten since my last visit, not just know if there have been more than 10. (Sure, there could be some practical limit, this is not needed if you come back 2 months later).

2) It would be nice to have an easy way to tell (different color or some other "flag") the new deal alerts as I go through the list page by page.

3) This is one I reported a year or two back, but has still not been fixed. When I am looking through my deal alerts list and follow a link and then hit BACK, I want to come back to the page I was on in the deal alerts list. Makes no sense to come all the way to the beginning each time.
A HUGE time waster and huge usability issue. Should be easy to fix too.

your doing it wrong - click on it with the scroll wheel to open it in a new tab - then when you are done, close the tab

also, just use the little lightbulb to go to your deal alerts, and check on them 1 by 1

Do'h!!! Yep, how the heck did I "forget" about that?
That takes care of "issue" 3, although I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work the logical way even when using the back button...

That's what I do. What I meant is that it would be helpful if, for example, the lighbulb was different color for alerts that I have already seen (or were already there on during my previous visit).
