The new posts link is a duplication of the new link that is in the top menu, that is, it shows posts with new replies, but it does not show only the replies that have been posted since last one logged in. It is this latter functionality that I am trying to find in audiogames.net.
As an example, I just logged in and found that the Swamp topic had new replies. There were at the time of writing 1061 replies to this topic of which I'd read 1,055. Clicking the new posts link just repeated the list of topics with new messages in them. I had to manually go to page 22 (I have the board set to show 50 posts per page), and then use heading navigation to go to 1,056 and begin reading. This means I have to remember for topics in which I'm interested what the last message number I read was, which is tedious. There are other forum software packages that do this quite nicely, as the example on http://www.burningwheel.org demonstrates. I'm not suggesting that audiogames.net change posting software at this date, but the feature does exist in other software, and I wonder if it can be enabled in the one we're using, or if I am being really dense, though I looked all over the topic page for other new links and found nothing promising.
