    'New Posts' link at the top of the page

    Could I ask why the 'New Posts' feature doesn't just display all the posts of the last 24 hours (like it used to)? I assume this is the same for everyone else, but once I read a particular thread, it is then removed from the list, making finding it again very dififcult if you don't remember the sub-forum it was in. Its a just a small quibble, but it would make the site easier to navigate if this list retained all the most recent thread activity, regardless of whether you read the whole thing or posted a response.

    And does anyone else find they are automatically logged out when using the quote feature?

    I never use the 'New Posts' feature so I can't comment (instead using Quick Links and Todays Posts which does retain all the post from the previous 24 hours) This is something for admin to address.

    Also I experienced being logged out when quoting months ago but it stopped and hasn't returned since, could it be something to do with your internet setup as this is what I assumed?

    Thanks Tete. In my ignorance, I hadn't noticed the 'todays posts' link was still available. Thats much better.

    Probably my internet settings or something to do with Norton. I'll leave it I think, its only a mild inconvenience, and I prefer to treat Norton like the anti-terror legilsation, just stay out of its way and assume its acting in your best interest (although most of the time it isn't).

    It might be to do with a bug that was in the forum software as a number was known and hopefully resolved with an upgrade that occured on Monday morning.

    Actually I was running Norton at the time, I have since changed to AVG. I know what you mean about Norton/AVG acting like anti-terror legislation.

    I did send a PM to Steve (Admin) so he may well resolve any issues in regards the New Posts feature. Edit: As you can see below - Thanks Steve
