Hey can we get the posts in the new posts section to stay 'new' for longer ... i just miss out on them sometimes and its a hassle going through the forums to find them ... also when new users go into it to see only two (or none) new posts could be a little off putting i guess

In other words it is finally behaving the way it is supposed to but the change created a temporary hiccup that set the DB to show back like 2 weeks for everyone from the point in time the settings were changed. From my understanding this is because the DB is now handling the display new posts function on a per user basis instead of it being handled by cookies as before.
The massive 10 - 16 page New Posts display is just a very short term inconvenience that is unavoidable during the transition to the new method of displaying new posts. I used the second method last night and now the New Post function works better than ever for me as once I visit a thread that has been posted in since my last visit it nor longer displays when I click on What's New or New Posts unless someone actually makes another post in that thread after I have viewed it.
My routine which may work for you:
Log in, new posts, open then in new tabs...
Did that even make sense?
