Downloads: 1 Uploads: 0 |  Issue with "new posts" link I hope I am in the right place, and I did not want to attach this to the "theme bugs" sticky. Whenever I first load the main page on starting my browser, it states "New posts since last visit: XXX". Where XXX is some value. If I click on that link to see what's new since I left, the number of posts that shows up is much less than what was stated. This morning, I got to the page and was notified that there were 305 new posts since I last logged on (early evening yesterday). When I hit the link to see them, only 80 posts showed up. Obviously, this might change if I hit another link on the page before checking new posts, or maybe if I waited 10 or 20 minutes before hitting the link (I use IE 7 and simul-surf 5 tabs at once), but I have been testing specifically this week by going straight to the "new posts" linky. This won't kill me, and it's kinda nitpicky, but I thought I would share... |

Downloads: 1 Uploads: 0 |  Yeah, I understand now. There were 305 new posts but they were in only 80 threads (some of which had more than one new post). |
