Recent vs New Posts

This forum has Recent which lists ALL posts over a period of time from hours to days.
Icons can tell us if we have read them but it can be over a couple of pages.
I do not know if we can get the New Posts back but let us have a poll on this.

There's an option for that which the moderator can change.I am certainly having trouble working out which are new. The green arrow does not always appear…
However, the green arrow won't appear if it's a new topic and you haven't read any of the posts in it. Look for the red NEW in the icon.

You might get your wish in the next upgrade.

I have however, voted for the "posts since last visit", as when available, I would prefer to have it back. I found it much easier, plus being away for a few weeks would not cause me to miss "out of date" posts either.

Is it me doing something wrong?

1. I am using the Sea style and when looking at the front page and see the rotating shell, which indictaes new posts, I click on that section.
2. This gives me a whole raft of choices but I click on Recent.
3. There I can see, by means of the little green arrow, which posts I haven't read.
After a couple of goes at this I find it very quick. Obviously not as good as we have been used to but until we get something different we must each find our own way. I can't give you what isn't there to give.

I also prefer the 'posts since last visit' option. It seemed easier to find the posts than the 'recent' tab

I agree the old "new" function was useful but if for any reason, I had to switch off (thunderstorms etc.) before I'd read them all, then I lost them and had to trawl through the whole forum (I think !!) to catch up. This way, I can spot the green arrow and read what's been posted since my last visit - very useful.

Recent posts is handy so you can review something you looked at before. So both would be good.

I started the poll & voted for New Posts only but reading the above & thinking more about that after many other posts on Suggestions, etc, I would be happy for both options.

I must admit to not having any difficulty with finding recent posts.
1. I am using the Sea style and when looking at the front page and see the rotating shell, which indictaes new posts, I click on that section.
2. This gives me a whole raft of choices but I click on Recent.
3. There I can see, by means of the little green arrow, which posts I haven't read.

I'm working this way too and don't believe I'm missing any posts.
I've voted for both but the recent posts tab works fine for me.
