It's not barmy from Bondi...
It's not barmy from Bondi...Is the "New Posts" system as barmy for everyone else? I'm having trouble understanding the confusion.
1. If there are unread posts in a thread it will show up in "New Posts".
2. If there are no unread posts in a thread it will not show up in "New Posts".
This seems to be a simple and logical way for "New Posts" to be organised. Is there something I'm missing?
It's fine, Joe.Is the "New Posts" system as barmy for everyone else? I'm having trouble understanding the confusion.

Joe, I much prefer the new system which only shows posts I haven't read. And I like having unread posts remaining as unread for the ten days. Under the old way I would try to choose a time with no distractions to quickly skim through before everything was marked as read.
With the old system, when you logged out or timed out, all threads were marked as read and you never really knew what you had missed. Now you can log in for 10 or 15 minutes, log out, come back much later and still know what you have read and what you haven't.
Joe,
I clicked [Today's Posts] at 8:40 AM today which returned only 38 forum entries with the oldest dated "Yesterday 11:29 AM"

Surely there must be postings after 8:40 AM yesterday up to Yesterday 11:29 AM that are not being listed!!!
When I click [New Posts], the site displays no postings for yesterday AM!!!
-- I only read selected items and many are not read by me!
Were there were no postings yesterday!!
Could others reading this thread please click "New Posts" and let me know if you are getting 10 days worth of unread threads or just 24 hours worth?
Joe, you may have your "clicks" mixed up. I have clicked "New Posts" and got nil as I had just marked all threads read.
Clicking "Today's posts" gives me the last 24 hours.

That makes sense. Sorry, brain not firing on all cylinders this morning.
John, did you select "Today's Posts" rather than "New Posts"? That would explain only getting 24 hours worth of new posts.
Joe, I clicked both "Today's Posts" and "New Posts"
The only explanation for not reporting postings yesterday before 11:29 AM could only be that these postings were all updated with new comments and now have a later date!l
I am assuming that there were posting during this period!
Hi Joe, I've just logged on and clicked on new posts. They go back to the 13th July so 10 days it is for me.
I do like the new system as it means new posts don't have to be read in one sitting like they used to before automatically marking all posts as read.
One suggestion I have is to add an "all posts" link next to the "new posts" link to make it easier to go back and find a read thread again!

I agree with Sails to add an "all posts" link next to the "new posts" link.
I now use All Posts because New Posts immediately removes new posts just read.
Many thanks for the suggestion. I will look into this and see how easy it is to implement.
John, when you say you use "All Posts" do you mean "Today's Posts"?
Joe, it has taken me ten minutes to get this thread up!. Amongst it, I've had to log off and re-enter, after repeatedly getting the screen advice that the site is offline. This has been happening more and more frequently in the last few weeks.
Also, a brief reply to a post is usually OK, but if I'm replying in any detail to multiple posts, by the time I click on Submit, it all just freezes. I have had to do a copy and paste, close down, restart the computer and log on again.
Really, really irritating. It is not happening with any other sites that I am using.
