| New Posts Now that the forum software stores markers in the database for all posts that you have read, the "New Posts" menu option should actually be useful. This means that the site will always know exactly which posts you have already read, instead of the old way of relying on the date/time of your last login. That was never accurate because you may not have finished reading all the new posts on your last login, and they would be lost if you we relying on "New Posts" to show you what you haven't read. (Note: These markers automatically reset after 30 days; so any posts that you don't read will automatically be marked as read when they reach 30 days old.)
You may have to reset your markers to get a clean start. Once you've finished reading for this visit, go to "Quick Links->Mark Forums Read". That will reset all your markers, marking everything on the site as "Read".
Then, from now on, if you use the "New Posts" option on the menu it will only show you threads that have posts that you haven't read. And, in case you didn't know, if you click the "Down Arrow" icon in front of a thread title, it will jump you right to where the new posts begin in that thread. (You can still use the "Today's Posts" link if you want to see all posts from the last day, whether new or not.) |

| Re: New Posts The " The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts." line is a nice touch.
Looks like we have a WYSIWYG editor as well.  |

| Re: New Posts If you want to see all posts from the last day, you can use Today's Posts. (see fine print in first message) "Active Topics" was just a name that was carried over from the old FuseTalk days. All it did was show all threads that had been updated in the last 24 hours.
The lower navigation menu at the top has been returned back to "stock", to keep the locations of the links more consistent for those that are familar with vBulletin sites. |

| Re: New Posts New Posts will always show you any posts you haven't read, up to 30 days back. It's not limited to just 1 day.
You can add the number of days onto the Today's Posts link and make your own shortcut if you like. (Example Below) But it puts a bit of a strain on the server if a lot of people are pulling up all posts from the last X days, which is why those options were removed from the menu.
