And now it's back to normal. Must have been a Google glitch.

Not sure how valid the analogy is, but that is a very funny read - well worth the 5 minutes.

Hey UT...or someone...how many posts have to be approved before a new member can post freely, without approval?

Undertoad · 02-04-2009, 06:29 PM

1, but automation takes a little time afterwards for it to happen.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 11:37 AM

Has something changed? It used to be when I hit "new posts" I would get a list that started with unviewed new posts, then a line, then the list would continue on to posts that hadn't been updated since my last log-in.

Now I get new posts that I haven't viewed...but to see the rest of it I have to click "here" to get to the list.

Is this something in my settings or has it changed? Just wondering.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-21-2009, 11:49 AM

Strange. maybe the number of "new posts" exceeds the number of entries you allow per page? I'm really only guessing here.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 12:04 PM

No, because it varies. Sometimes there is nothing there, and I have to "click" next to get the chronological list.

Also, everything is set to forum default in that arena.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-21-2009, 12:07 PM

Must be a conspiracy.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 12:08 PM

Oh hush...

I just thought someone else would have seen this, or encountered it.

brat...

xoxoxoBruce · 02-21-2009, 12:18 PM

:p Perhaps UT can explain it.

Undertoad · 02-21-2009, 12:54 PM

Click here? Click where?

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 01:47 PM

If there are no "new" posts, it says something like "to view threads from the last 24 hours click here."

Then I see the posts in chronological order.

Right now I have 8 posts to choose from when I click new posts. The heading reads:

The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts. which is what I used to see under posts that came after "new" posts. And in this case, those threads have been updated since my last visit because they are the new posts.

Ugh, wish I could screen shot.
