You wrote them, therefore you have read them, they are not new to you.

The new posts you see are specific to you.

Threads that appear in your "new posts" have posts that you have not read.

If you have read everything in a thread, that thread will not appear in your new posts. Simple.

Stuff in the Dirt Bike forum will only appear in your new posts if there is an un-read post.

This thread showed back again for you, after we had all posted in it.
That is how I saw the thread again.

Now once I post I wont see it again unless someone else posts back in here.
Unless I go hunting for it in 'site stuff' forum.

My links posted above are to get hold of the moderators, which is the best way to go when one does have a problem with figuring out KB.

The first link was about 'post counts no longer being counted'.....
yep I misread the post.. lol oops sorry.

I am not sure who the moderator is now for off-road and dirt-bike stuff is.
It used to be Motu.

Yeah, thanks for clearing that up... i'm confused lol

Actually Crashe- no use at all! that thread is about post counts and rants not the new post page. Just seems that when I rely on the New posts page to see if anything has been said in Dirt Forum, it doesnt tell me and when I go in there, there have been heaps of posts going on that are not being notified on the new post page.

Jeez, how to make it clearer...?

Okay, when you click on "new posts", it is NOT a chronological list of everything that's been posted. It is a list of threads with posts that you haven't read.

Try it. Click on "new posts". Click on and read a whole thread. Go back to the forum main page and click on new posts again - the thread you just read will not be there.

Does that make sense?

See my above post....... I explained it that I misread your thread.

Can I suggest that you contact Joni as she does site stuff behind the scenes on this site....and she should be able to sort it all out for you.
Direct her to this thread with the link to it..... that way she can read this and try to figure out what has gone wrong in the dirt-bike forum.

All the best.

RIGHT!! Im getting the hang now... what was confusing me is that this site is run on the same program as DirtBikeWorld in Ausie (v-bulletin) which I spend a lot of time on. This site is very similar in its nuts and bolts but has more features activated and a bit more bling!- I'll get it sorted, just be patient with me .....

**Virago** · 8th November 2007, 17:06

I've just checked. The Off Road forum stuff is definitely appearing in new posts (for those, of course, that haven't read it...!)

No worries...... we all had to learn the ropes as to how this place worked as well, when we all started out on this site...

Hi all, I've searched this but can't find an answer.

When I reply to a thread, it usually doesn't show that post in the right chronological order on the "New Posts" page. In fact often it doesn't show at all.

Does anyone know why?
