Has the format been changed for the "New Posts" button on the header bar?
Originally all threads were shown with a closed or open envolope for read and unread threads.
Since yesterday arvo (thurs 30/8), "New Posts" are now opening with only actual new posts that haven't been read.
Thought I was going bananas :doh: for a while there last night as I couldn't see my new thread that I posted last night or any that I replied to.

That was happening to me also. I think someone must have been twiddleing the knobs trying to confuse us.
:o:o when i opened new post this morning 33 in the list have't seen that many new ones before today
somit strange going on:~
Cookies seem to have been reset to about the 22nd.
Is there an echo in here? :?Quote:

I wish the only modification to New Posts, was the ability to be able to ingnore threads in it, as its way to cluttered for what im interested in. But that might be asking to much:)
It looks like if you are the last one to post it doesn't show up under "new threads", until someone else posts after you :?
I use iSpy more than New Posts these days. Yes it would be good if you could select what forums you're interested in. You can subscribe to different forums in the User Control Panel but that doesn't seem to affect what you see under New Posts or iSpy.
Incidentally, my Control Panel is showing subscribed threads back to 21st August. Usually it only shows unread replies.
Okay, okay, I am working on it.:download1:
I noticed it to, but I thought as I downgraded to IE 7, it may have affected it.:U
The Drivel/Slather posts are not included (as mentioned in the notices), but were available last week. Maybe this is the reason for the change.
I've had a bit of trouble logging in over the last day or so (I think Optus has a trunk down, as switching to using the Telstra proxy fixed it! :thyel:) but once I finally got in and clicked 'new posts'...
:oo: 32 pages!!
It didn't take long for me to realise that only 5 of them were actually "new." When I logged in today, guess what? Hit "new posts" and got 32 pages. Again. Somethings still screwy somewhere. :~
I am now officially confused again. The Drivel posts are in the "New Posts". There goes my theory:B
As mention in another thread, someone is updating some software, but I seem to recall a similar thing happening earlier this year and the powers that be had to reset vbulletin. I maybe wrong, just MBGitW normally tells me when I am wrong:U
I have logged on to my son's computer to test the theory of "Log on/off" still getting 32 pages of "new" posts.
If the cookies have been reset, the drivel and naughty room posts wont appear until you log into these rooms again...Quote:

They were complaining of net getting drivel, well all they had to do was ask:UQuote:

It's actually making using the forums quite a bit more complicated. :(
Thats why if you log out you will find it back in new posts, and then drag it up and log back on.... I hope this is just a temporary glitch as it suxQuote:

They have stopped fiddleing the knobs. It's back to normal only 2 pages coming up now when I click on New Posts.
That's a relief. [Whew!] I don't use iSpy much, it may see a lot more use in the future.Quote:

Edit: although I see that this post appeared in 'new posts' straight away. :) I wonder if the PTB's rolled back the change?
