Hey Corey-
 
I log off whenever I leave the site and log on when I come back the next time (a day or two or whatever, later). Whenever I log on, I run down to the bottom of the main page and ask for "Active Threads." What I THINK I'm getting is all the threads that have received posts SINCE I LAST LOGGED OFF. But that's no all I get. I also get all the threads I have NOT YET OPENNED since I've become a member. It's a huge list. If I don't open an active thread, and log off, then logg on again the next day and pull up the Active Threads, I get this same thread in the list even though (I can see from the date of the last post on it) it hasn't received any new action since the last time I logged on.
 
What I'd like the "Active Threads" feature to give me is threads that have received posts SINCE I LAST LOGGED OFF. Can that be fixed?
 
Actually, it might be good to have it pull of active threads 'since I last refreshed'. That's how the old site was. So if I log on and am working on posting a response to some thread, say, for a half hour, and THEN while still logged on want to recheck the active threads to see if anyone has posted while I've been on, I'll get that too. But as it is, when I recheck "Active Threads" in this way, I don't get the very thread I've just posted on for example. But I know I just posted newly on a thread, but I doesn't show when I ask for "Active Threads." That would be a nice feature to have again.

Heh, I marked all forums read and that seems to have fixed it for now. But I did this weeks ago. What's happening is now each time I log on I get every thread that's been posted too since I last marked all forums read. But what I want is all the active threads since I last logged off (or last refreshed), not since I last marked all forums read.

Am I making sense? Is this objectively true? ;o)

OK, here's an example. After I posted the immediately preceding post, I clicked "View Active Threads" and got nothing. I should have gotten this thread.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it.
