New posts vs recent posts

[Bert van den Berg]

Hi,

Love your board.

Can you please tell me the difference between new posts and recent posts? Both seem to provide the same threads.

Regards,

Bert

My understanding is new posts are the ones which have unread replies. Filtering out the ones you've looked at the new content already. Recent posts include new posts plus the threads you've already looked at but are still chronologically recent.

I predict a better answer coming,

Yes, as above.

If you select "Mark Forums Read" => "Mark all forums read",
then select "New Posts" => "You have no unread posts. You may view all recent posts instead."
