Why Do "New Posts" Only Go Back Approximately One Hour Right Now?

Guess I'm just not communicating. But I don't know how to explain it any better.

Oh well. Grrrrrr.

Because the behaviour you are observing is based on the session length and how long you keep it going. I am trying to give you the information you need so you can work out what is the issue you have with the way the forum works.

If you did the same thing, click for click with the same intervals, on two days, which the experiment separated by at least 3600 seconds the same results would be observed. However, you cant control what gets posted in that time, but I hope you can see what I am saying.

Just the act of checking the page (refreshing or clicking on a forum) changes things because it starts that 3600second clock ticking again.

I get onto Avalon via. a bookmark that takes me right to my control panel. From there I click on "New Posts" and note whether or not a specific new post that I'm tracking is there or not. I note this when I first go to the board.

What does what I do after that have to do with anything?

What you do after has everything to do with it. That is how your session is being extended. If your session dies - no post you are tracking will be a new post.

I think we are getting there - this is obviously bugging you, so I will go the distance to help get this clear.

Anchor,

I'm talking about how long a post stays up. Think about what I'm saying. What do you mean, will no longer be a new post? A post is still on the board or not.
