    [Forum] What's New? vs new Posts

    Can someone please tell me the difference?

    They seem the same to me.

    Right now they are the same -- in future versions, the devs said they will try to integrate new content from the blogs and cms too.

        Actually, "What's New" provides links to other content types in the subnav so you can find new articles and blog posts. If you don't have the Publishing Suite then they do the same thing.

            Right. New blogs or blog comments still don't seem to show up when clicking the big "What's New" link/tab. Will that ever happen?

                I'm sure you can. Use Search in phrases and edit the text of the tab there.

                  I've also noticed since upgrading to 4.0.2 that for some reason there are a lot of posts showing when I click "what's new" that I've already seen (some as far back as a couple days ago).

                  And there also seems to be a thing with when a member posts in a thread, then hits the whats new button, his/her new post doesn't show up at the top of the list like it normally would.

                  Any ideas on that?

                    SuperGLS, you may want to open a bug report on that one.

                      There's a bug thing in there that produces the what mine does now and states that's not what it used to do or what the person wants. Very strange indeed.

                      Also, for some reason the New Posts is still displaying lots of threads from days ago even though people have already seen them. Strange.

                        Interestingly enough if you click the What's New link on this site or my site and then click on the 1 of 5 thing to bring up the "Go to X page" and type 5 and hit GO that it brings up the SEARCH page.



                        But if you keep hitting the NEXT/RIGHT arrow in that same area it keeps going through the pages... up and up and up.

                          Anyone else having any these problems?

                          I disabled all my plugins/mods and it still happened. I tried with a new default style and it still happened.

                          It's a big complaint on the forum. Any help/insight would be appreciated.
