Default Where's the "New Posts" link?

Good grief, a whole new look! What happened to the New Posts or Most Recent Posts link on the top menu? Please bring it back -- that's all I ever use.

You answered my first concern about New Posts. However, on my browser there is now about an inch wide white space on the left as you scroll down, and about that same amount of stuff is cut off the right side making me have to scroll to the right to see everything.

Green is my most unfavorite color???? Doesn't go well with my purple text!!! LOL... Can we change format and/or colors? Yikes.
I know I'm old, but this change is hard to handle.

If you click on where it says Links on the top, you can click on todays posts. But it's only today. I like the New Posts option. I don't want to go through every topic.

I know it's not quite the same, but if you go to the home screen, there is a word "bubble" near each forum. If there are new topics in that particular forum, the word NEW will appear in the bubble.

I don't mind the color, but I do understand why some are missing "New Posts."

If you diminish your zoom percentage by one level then that should help you with your problem. It will make the entire page a little bit smaller but should show all the content you are looking for without having to scroll.

I got this from the FAQ's button-----How can I see the latest posts?

There are two ways to quickly view recently created or updated threads.

If you are not logged in, the 'today's posts' link will show a list of all threads that have been created or updated in the last 24 hours.

If you are logged in, the 'Today's Posts' link will change to 'New Posts', which gives you a listing of all threads that have been created or updated since your last visit.

The administrator can also set up the forums so that each thread you read is marked in the database. If this option is set, then new threads (or threads with new posts) will not be marked as read until you have actually read them.

There is a built-in time limit to this, however, that will automatically mark all threads as 'read' after a set number of day, whether you really have read them or not. The default setting is 10 days, but the administrator could make this higher or lower.

This is just a temporary test, we are doing some quick testing. The original design will be back shortly. We'll have something permanent shortly.

How do you start a new thread? I have looked all over. (Except for the correct place obviously.)


I just wondered if anyone else saw the new sinkhole on Knotty Pine Terr in Buttonwood. It is about 3x4 and five feet deep. All around the hole it looks like the ground is sloping down toward the hole. Does everyone have Sinkhole insurance?
