What is the difference between "new" and "latest"?
 

Bonjour tout le monde!

In the "Main Menu" on the right, there are links both to "View Latest Posts" and "View New Posts." I'm flummoxed about the difference between the two options, as they both give me more-or-less the same list of posts.

:confused:

"New Posts" refer to posts made since the last time you were logged in and active, while "Latest Posts" are the newest posts chronologically from the current time.

So in other words, if you hadn't logged in for a month or two, "New Posts" would contain thousands of posts going back to the last day you were on, but the "Latest Posts" would always contain the most recent posts (going back 7 days).

Thanks.

S'pose it makes some sort of sense. Not that I'm ever going to go back through thousands of posts (I rarely go beyond the first page of either list), so the difference is not really that important.

Thanks MS3FGX. Was reluctant to ask myself and expose my ignorance.

Cheers, Lou
