  "textContent": "I don't have much to say other than \"New Posts\" is my life blood on any forum. On some forums I'm using it **hundreds** of times an hour. And the behavior of such can make a forum a pleasure to use, or a bear. This forum in particular has never been a great experience in this regard. Mainly because of how \"smart\" or \"dynamic\" it is by not showing the same list to all users and customizing the list based on if a user has \"read\" all of the new posts in a thread or not. (Which is doubly insane considering the existence of the even worse \"Unread Posts\" feature.) It's also super-annoying that it is not available to users who are not logged in. I am often not logged in on my tablets, for example, but still want to, you know, see new posts... Also the length of time it is willing to go back is also less than ideal (too short). It seems now that maybe something has caused things to improve there, but I suspect it will go back to its normal ways once the cache catches up and it knows which threads you've read already.\n\n\n(The forum software I wrote myself has the following behavior for this feature... It grabs the threads with the most recent posts from the prior week. If that is more than 100 threads then it presents them. If it is below 100 threads then it keeps going back a week at a time until it grabs the most recent 100+ threads with new posts and presents them. So you always get at least 100 threads and always at least a week's worth of threads. Of course it doesn't show threads to users that don't have permissions to see them, but in general it shows the same thing to all users and doesn't try to be obnoxiously \"smart\" about hiding threads that have already been \"read\" or other nonsense. It is a dream to use, and gives a perfectly clear view of what is going on across the entire forum, at all times, to all users, and all visitors/guests alike.)\n\n* * *",
