Default Repeat Posts

Wondering why some posts are repeat posts from the day before. I enjoy reading the latest posts while having my morning coffee, but am disappointed when half the posts are the same ones from the day before. Is the interest that low or just inefficient post management?

Why care? We select what we read, hear etc. There are millions of books we've all not read. On any subject it is interesting to read how others view the same event. I do wonder when some thread runs like 4-5 pages how many read from the beginning. I tend to read the original post and then the more current ones. My opinion in many cases, in too many cases the devolve into lower and lower posts, name calling and little or nothing of value.

Far as management, the moderator, my guess, since it is 24 hours a day 7 days a week it is not the same person. The rules are at best vague and subjective.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.. Depending on how you're viewing the forums you can still see posts from weeks ago. Of course the fewer new posts there are the better chance of seeing posts from yesterday on the list. As far as I know there is no post management. What gets posted gets displayed. You can always just click on "Today's Posts" to see what has been posted today.

Hey! The Thread About Nothing is the most successful thread this forum has ever seen. NOTHING wrong with it. Don't like it? Then do NOTHING.

Hey, Ken if they only knew the good things that came out of that dopey stupid infantile thread. I can assure anyone who cares that it was more than NOTHING and you would have wished you were involved.

After reading the posts you want, do you click on the red box “Mark Forums Read”?

I suspect that the algorithm used to select the top posts from the prior day would have been based on the number of views and posts....
