Doesn't appeal to me either.It is certainly a minor complaint, but beings a "facts-oriented" sort I wish that the new XenForo software identified any and all submissions with a simple and straightforward date and time "stamp".
I realize that references such as "yesterday", "52 minutes ago", "Friday", etc. can be deciphered easily enough, but specific and consistent date and time (e.g., vbulletin) involves no such need for interpretation. I'm frankly surprised that the software designers didn't simply (and consistently) just incorporate and adopt straightforward and precise dates and times for all entries instead of the assorted "verbal descriptions and references".
Brian, I did click "mark all as read", but I don't have to do that every day, do I? On the old BBS I had the option of seeing posts for the last 2 days, 1 week, a month, etc. Has this option been deleted? You had to go to "options" to make that change. Ellinot sure I follow you on this one? new posts should remain populated until you click the "mark all as read" link. (or unless you have read them)

annnnd back on again with another fix...fingers crossed.
This helps. To me, this is more like the vbulletin version. The new version has threads I have recently visited disappear(when I use 'New Posts) I like still seeing them, though lighter, so I know what threads I have visited whether I reply or not.perhaps the "recent posts" link would be a better option for what you are looking for?

In "recent posts" can I specify which forums I want to read in "recent posts" or does it always show all forums?im pretty sure it still considers a thread as "new" if you havent actually visited it...once you read a thread it wont show up in that list anymore. clicking "mark all as read" will reset the list completely.

In New Posts and Recent Posts, threads in forums that you follow will have a little pair of glasses on the right. I suspect it will also show that if it is a thread you are following.In "recent posts" can I specify which forums I want to read in "recent posts" or does it always show all forums?
I am still seeing it in Chrome.Ummm....I'm not seeing the "Mark Forums Read" option tab at the top of the page tonight. Has this changed today?

added a new feature that allows you to ignore threads and forums from your "new posts" and "recent posts" watchlists.
you will find the links to these features at the top of the page in the navigation bar.
to ignore a thread or a forum, the option to do so is at the top right hand corner of the forum or thread in particular (right next to the watch forum/thread link)
Do you have "Forums" selected in the top row? That gives you the forum-related links in the second row.Ummm....I'm not seeing the "Mark Forums Read" option tab at the top of the page tonight. Has this changed today?
I would agree that those links are pretty prominent when they are probably going to be seldom used. Not sure if these could instead be moved to the User Name drop-down or something where they aren't taking up as much room in the menu bar.I see those links, and agree they're helpful. But the placement messes with the orderly layout at the top of the screen. Can you move those two choices over by two to the left? It would put Forums and Threads You Ignore next to Watched Forums and Threads. That would put Recent Posts and New Posts at the end of the line to the right. That way, when somebody drops in for two seconds like I do, clicking New Posts is an easy thing, and they (ok, me), wouldn't have to hunt to find the New Posts and Recent Posts links. It's probably an OCD thing.
