Russ,

I have noticed that also....I believe this version of the software operates differently than the last version. The prior version seem to tag each post for each user on whether you read it or not (I can imagine the database size behind that exercise). This version seems to capture the time you login/start a session and shows you all 'new posts' since the last time you logged out/ended a session. So, it is managing posts based on session time stamps rather than marking each post as read/not read for you. So, if you don't read all new posts in one session when you come back in later in the day they will no longer be 'new to you'. I'm sure it's more efficient for system storage/performance but not as foolproof as the earlier version in tracking every post.

Different, but manageable....the shear volume of posts these days makes it impossible to fully keep up anyway....not that that is a bad thing. I, for one, am glad to see all the new folks and their contributions.

Disclaimer....the "analysis" above is my guess; I don't know for a fact that this is how the system works.
