Since I've never used it before, I'm not sure exactly what you were looking for, but that's what I got.
Thanks so much!

I just got only 12 on my list.

I know the New Posts are different from Today's Posts and you get this message for Today's Posts: "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit or since forums have been marked read."

What I can't figure out is why on some days, posts that have not been updated since my last visit (I don't mark forums as read) stay there on New Posts for 8 hours or so, even though I log in periodically during the 8 hours, but on other days, like today, they go away from the list.

I'm wondering about this because I'm assuming some people only check New Posts each day, and I want my posts to stay there as long as possible, so they have the best chance to be read.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? (I've already private messaged Gareth about this.)
