Where have all the posts gone?!

[Jaeger]

Aye Up All,

I'm still quite new to the site so forgive what might be a dumb question -
When I logged into the site earlier today and clicked on Forum, 'new posts' I was able to view numerous posts dating back a few days.

After viewing some of the new posts I submitted a new one of my own in the relevant forum.

After logging out and then later returning and logging back in to check for responses to my post I could only view about half a dozen of the latest posts made today only?
I hadn't altered any settings.
I've had a quick look in FAQ's but can't see the issue covered.

This has occurred a few times previously and I've logged out and back in but the problem persists until I log in again a day or so later?

Any ideas please?

Anyone that knows better feel free to correct but as I understand it it's when the new posts section refreshes. There should be an option when there's nothing else there to view last 24 hours of posts though

It's because "new posts" are the posts that were made since you last logged off

Or refreshed by hitting the new post button which is usually about an hour

A couple forums I visit have a section which reads 'The posts below do not have any new posts but do have posts you've yet to read' which I for one would like to see on here

Aaaaaaah - that makes sense bikething,

So am I correct in stating that the only way to (re) view those earlier posts is to go into each (relevant) forum?

Yup

That's one way..

or you could go into "advanced search" at the right of the title bar...

Make sure you're on the "search multiple content types" tab

leave all the "search in" boxes unticked, leave the "search for " fields blank

Then in "Additional options" choose the date range you want, say "a week ago" plus "and newer"

and set "sort results by" to "date" and "in descending order"

it should pull up all the posts made in the last week with the latest at the top - it just doesn't look as pretty as the "new posts" button

Go on then - you can have two
