View new posts options

PostBy: Bob On: Mon Dec 22, 2008 10:52 am

I typically click the view new posts button and will get 2 to three screens. I seems as though I was seeing things posted since my last visit. Today I clicked new and got 8 pages and I noted there is a choice at the bottom of the page for number of days--it was set to seven.

Two questions:

1. Has a change to defaults been made?
2. What do I change to get it back to the way it was?

Thank you.

Did you clear you cookies on your machine or not logged in?

It has been working fine for me. unless there was a lot of posts. ? I do the same thing, sometimes I have to go up and do a "MARK FORUMS READ" to start over. Then, it works fine.

You must have clicked the "active" link as that will display many more posts. The "New" and "Active" are a little ambiguous as the active posts is just a much more longer list.

"NEW" will display whatever you haven't read that is new, I believe its tied to the session length which is 1 hour. After one hour the list should be reset if you don't load any pages.
