New Posts - What Defines 'New'?

[mosaix]

Somtimes I click on 'New Posts' and there's pages of them going back nearly twenty four hours.

Other times - like now - there's hardly a page full.

What constitutes a 'New' post?

I always thought it was from when you last logged on.

Jacko - you are exactly right. Just logged out and logged back in again. Selected 'New Posts' and got a message "There Are No New Posts". But there was also a link showing all posts in the last 24 hours - never seen that before, just wish that link was available all the time.

Indeed - new posts since you last logged on. If you logged on, then hang around for some time, it'll then only show the posts while you logged on.

Hope that helps.

Brian - I bookmarked the "Posts In The Last 24 hours" - very useful.

Indeed.

Also depends on the timeout of the cookie, if you are permanently logged in after a set period of time posts will get marked as read, or what sometimes happens and is really annoying, you go away from the board come back and the same posts you have already read have been marked as unread again, I haven't seen it happen here, but I have seen it happen on other vbulletin boards.
