'New Posts'

[Xander]

I finally found out why posts randomly disappear from the New Posts page. If you log in and spend 15 minutes inactive then everything is marked as read. I don't think this can be turned off, but I've got an idea for a work-around. It's something I've tried before though, and I didn't manage it the first time. Here's hoping I've picked up some brainpower from somewhere since then.

LOL I thought you knew that so I never mentioned it. I have noticed however that you can circumnavigate it by going to Today's posts instead of New posts and they are still there....it doesn't time out after 15 minutes like 'New Posts' does - also opening a different browser will bring 'New Posts' back.

That's exactly what i do to...
I thought it was my cookies that made things dissapear, like it logges me off after 15 (?) min.
If you click 'back' and choose 'search thr...' from the list, than you'll get every thing, i think...

Sorry if I was being Captain Obvious in that post.

There is an interesting thing here though, I might be able to make it so that it takes a longer period of time before the New Posts all get marked as being read.
