NEW POSTS will only lists threads with new posts
you have not read. If you read a thread...it's not going to show up on NEW POSTS again until someone else
actually posts a new reply.
It's a much better way than in the past, as it remembers what posts you've read and what you haven't between login sessions...meaning, say you log in after a few days and hit NEW POSTS...it will list all the threads where there are posts you haven't read. Let's say there are 25 threads with new posts.
Now let's say you only get to read 13 of them before you get called away from your device for a few hours, or you log out of the board entirely.
In the past, when you came back to the board and logged in, you'd hit NEW POSTS and it would list all the threads with new posts SINCE YOU LOGGED OUT, omitting the threads you didn't get to read in the prior session, because the board used to mark them as read (whether you actually read them or not) after an hour or two of inactivity, OR when you logged out.
But now, it will remember those 12 threads you didn't get to read last time, PLUS any new threads with posts since you logged out...meaning...you'll never miss a new post again.
So yes, once you read a thread, it will disappear from NEW POSTS as it should, since there are no more new posts in that particular thread as of now.
And yes, TODAY'S POSTS under QUICK LINKS will give you a list of threads that have new posts in the last 24 hours, and will continue to list them even after you've read them.
Many people have clamored for a way to have it so that the board "remembers" what you have and haven't read between login sessions...I think this is a pretty neat new feature...others may disagree.
It used to be very frustrating trying to remember what threads with new posts you've read and what you haven't read in between sessions.
