Understanding "new posts"

[GeneT]

There was recently a good thread on front rests. It has completely disappeared from "new posts" - I know not why. It still shows as the top post in "centerfire benchrest", but it doesn't show up in the "new" sections, in spite of being newer, and more responded-to than many other posts.

I don't think this is intentional (why would it be?) - but it's certainly curious behavior that I think merits looking into.

TIA,

GsT

Are you referencing this thread https://benchrest.com/forum/threads/front-joystick-rest-options.105949/ ? If not, can you post a link to the relevant thread?

Yes, that's the thread.

As soon as you view a thread, it is no longer a "new post" until someone ads a new post to it. When you come back to the forum it will show in "New Posts" if someone has added to it. If there aren't any new additions, it isn't considered new because you are up to date with it.

Jerry, I agree with your explanation. Gene, please let us know if that resolves your issue.

I may be wrong, but I thought the thread had been updated but didn't hit my 'new posts' query. I'll pay attention if I notice it again.
