Resetting “new posts”
Posted: December 4th, 2023, 8:35 pm
I know that a few “old hands” on here follow the site primarily through the “new posts” feature.
I notice that there’ll be a build-up of new posts, sometimes running into pages, then all of a sudden there’ll be a cull, and the list will be down to five or six, or so. I think this happens overnight, or early morning, but am not sure. Whatever, I posted a reply to an old thread the other day, and rightly so, the old thread had been resurrected to top of the “new posts” rankings. But an hour later, it had vanished into obscurity once more, as the new posts had been reset and it wasn’t current enough to have made the cut. So, can this cliff-edge effect be softened? perhaps maintain a constant 20-30 “new posts”, with the oldest falling off the log as a new one appears?
Damn. Subject mistyped.
