    Default 32 new pages in 2 hours ?

    I clicked on the usual "new posts" button since my last visit 2 hours ago and up came 32 pages !! What the ?

    I notice that on the second page, there's a heading saying 'The following threads have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts' and as I said. there's 30 pages of them. I'm not sure if it's really necessary. It must be part of the upgrade I suppose.

    Whats more, when you click on a post to view it and then go back to the new posts button, the post you just viewed has gone. That didn't happen before either.

    I'm not sure I like it this way.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I don't like it either..... that's progress I s'pose. I guess the young 'uns will be all excited about it while we sit back in our rocking chairs grumbling.

    P (36 pages to check since I was last on 10minutes ago )

    I wondered what the I had done when I clicked the new posts button. It wasn't till I saw this thread near the top I settled a little.
    Boring signature time again!

    I think it must be a bit of a hickup in the system. That was occurring when I was away for a few days and would come back and find all the pages.

    I used to like it when the highlighted post became unhilighted straight after you went back to the list. Now it only happens if you click on new posts.

    Just checked my "New Posts" it showed 482 pages of which the first one was NEW, this is just unnecessarily burning up my download allowance.

    I want to know how to stop it. If I want old posts I'll look for them myself.

    Select "Quick links - Mark Forums Read" to set the start point or to clear the list of unwanted, unread posts.

    Yes. It establishes a start point from which all unread posts will remain.
    Use "Quick Links - Today's Posts" to see todays.

    And when I click on User CP, I have to scroll down 80 subscribed threads before I get to my greeny tree :confused:

    Nope, not happy with it this way, or for our NZ brothers, not heppy.

    Also when you get an email notification of a new post, it takes you to the first post of the thread.

    It will only burn up your download allowance if you go and read every post. Just read the ones you haven't read.
