Are you aware that the New Posts link does not always work right? I got on tonight for the first time since Thursday night, and when I clicked on New Posts, it said there were none. I then clicked on posts within the last 24 hours and saw there were quite a few. You should check out that link.
New posts can be interesting, by which I mean that yes, it can have issues. It basically tries to use your session to see which posts are new since the last time you visited, but how quickly they get marked as seen can vary. Last 24hrs is different in that it always shows posts made in the last day.
So when I get on this site and I see there were 50 postings since I last was here on Thursday, and click New Postings and nothing comes up. . . ?
It might have marked them as having been seen, depending on how long you were on the home page and how long it took the page to load. It's a feature that can have such problems.
Not related to the thread but just gonna say this.
This site needs a major make over.
I am wary of makeovers. Too many times it results in a site which is less user friendly.
The New Posts link is not working again. It did not work last night, and just now when I logged on it said there were 18 new posts. When I clicked New Posts, it said there were none.
Sorry, I really can't replicate, and I've tried. It always works for me.. Have you tried using the "Today's Posts" link instead?
By any chance, do you log in each time you visit or you have a permanent running session?
Another thing that it might be, is that sometimes some of the new posts are moderated, and won't show up until one of the staff approves (or rejects) them. I think it still appears in the new number however. But that'd only be one or two posts or threads at a shot.
I don't have to log in each time. BTW, it worked today.
