I'm not sure I follow your question PF. However I can explain how the new posts work.
When you click the new posts button it will show you a list of all the threads which have had new posts made to them.
Now when you visit the site it sets a cookie on your machine stating the time and date of your visit. The site assumes that you will be on the site no longer than 900 seconds after your last recorded activity. So when you have been away from the site for over 900 seconds the new posts will reset. If you keep on returning to the site within that 900 second slot then any new posts are added to the original new posts so the count increases.
I hope thats not too confusing. Simply new posts reset when you have been away for 900 seconds  |
