TheThumper Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 My DCS Forum habit is to load up the forums and hit "New Posts" at the top of the page. My understanding is that it would list, across the entire forum, any threads that have new posts ranked in descending chronological order. Being a vain person by nature, whenever I post (which is quite seldom), I always want the satisfaction of hitting the "New Posts" button to see that my important contribution/silly question has been flagged for all those knowledgeable in the ways of DCS to admire, but sadly usually I never see it show up on the first page :(. Am I understanding this functionality incorrectly? Are there super-secret rules? Do I need reputation to rate making the home page? Any insight to the above is much appreciated, although I don't expect to see this thread on the home page! :cry: ~Thump. ~Thump.

Camembert Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 If you press New Posts after making a post, it won't show up because you already read it? I am a silly old fool btw so if I got the wrong end of the stick to your question then ignore me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grunf Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 As I understand it, New post shows unread posts in chronological order. If someone posts after you, the thread should pop up in the list, but can also get buried among other new posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheThumper Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ah, that is a good point on the "you already read what you just posted".... in hindsight.. duh! BTW, I found this post by clicking on "New Posts" and it showed up. So, yeah, I think you guys are onto something.... so smart! Thanks for getting me straightened out there. ~Thump.
