If I went to bed or spent yesterday following a thread, unless someone posted on it past midnight, it is now gone. On the old Forum, there were the active posts for at least the last 48 hours, or by some [large] number of recently updated posts. I think that is a better system, especially now that more are posting new threads. Yes, one can hunt and find them, but most [and I] want to post on the recently active threads. Thanks.

I'm not ignoring this - honest. But it is far more complex than the above suggests, even though I accept it shouldn't be - arguably vBulletin are being just a wee bit toooo clever. Briefly, this is how the "todays Posts"/"New Posts" functionality works:

Casual browsers and non-logged in users will always see "Today's posts" as the first item to the left under the "Forum" menu.

This is where the tooo clever bit comes in:

Logged in users will see 'Today's Posts' on first log in, but as soon as they have moved away from the first 'Forum' menu view and then return to it, "Today's Posts" becomes "New Posts". "New Posts" runs EXACTLY the same script as the "What's New" Nav Bar button. It selects every thread with posts that the system has logged the user as either having not already opened, or not specifically marked as read, from within the original "Today's Posts" selection. It does NOT reset at midnight GMT is selects the posts/threads with a date/time stamp less than 24 hours old with reference to the users time-zone setting.

I am looking for a way to ALWAYS have a "Today's Post" sub-menu displayed but, believe it or not it involves low-level php coding and is still not at the front of the queue.
