Poll - "New Posts" Issue
 
Could a mod kindly add a poll consisting of the following options:

No, change it back
Yes, keep it as is

I also noticed other users mentioned this in the "RS has a New Home" thread. Guess I missed those posts.

Before the site changed provider:

I would go to New Posts. And view threads from there. Then if I replied to a thread and then clicked the New Posts button again it would show said thread with me as the latest poster, and the text wouldn't be "Bolded" (Light blue as opposed to Dark blue).

After the site changed provider:

If I replied to a thread and clicked the New Post button. It would not show said threads with me as the lastest poster. And even if I didn't reply to the thread, but simply viewed it, it would also disappear from the New Posts list.


I'm just wondering if there was a "switch" or option that was mistakenly turned on/off during the change.

I bring this up because sometimes I read a thread but don't reply right away. But later on I have something to say, but it wouldn't be listed in the New Posts list, provided no one had replied after I had read the thread. Which means I have to look up the thread via the search or view subforums until I find it, which sometimes is never since I don't always read which subforum a thread is posted in.

Anyways I hope you understand what I am trying to get at. And if its possible to make like before that would be awesome, if not it'll take some getting used to on my part.


Thanks for your time, Admins.


EDIT: Here is an example of what I am talking about

This image shows this thread being posted at 7:46 PM

This image shows a search done at 7:47 PM.
Pre-provider, it would show this thread in between the "where do you get your red "H" emblems?" and "Fs: Dussault summer edition hoodie" threads.
Post-provider, it now does not show this thread because I was the latest poster.

Another issue I've noticed since the switch is that something is wrong with the cookies or something, in that the site does not know when I was last online.

Previously, if I visited the forum, and then left... and then came back after half hour, if I searched for New Posts, it would give me all the threads that had posts in it since I left half hour ago.

Now, after I leave the forum, even if I leave for two hours and did a search for New Posts, it would still show me posts from before two hours ago.

Or another way to put it is if I go to VOT, the only threads that should be bolded are the ones that have had activity in it since I left two hours ago, but now it still shows threads since way before that as bolded.

^ I think that'll get fixed when SkinnyPupp reverts back to the old version.
