What's the difference between the FORUMS terms

[CanNik]

Can someone tell me the difference between "New posts" and "What's new" !!!!!

Whats new are the latest ones written in, time based. New posts are the ones still at un -read status for a certain account. So these can be much older just not had been read by a user

Is that the mobile version of the site? For me (on my MacBook) “What’s new” is a dropdown menu that includes the other four. But, yes, what @Base said is accurate.

When I’m not working off my Alerts for threads that I’ve partipated in with activity, I use the “New posts” button all the time to see what’s going on around the forum. Unfortunately, it can get aggravating (for me, anyway) when some users revive “necro” threads for some reason.

My saved bookmark for the forum is the "new posts" page, as I suspect is for a lot of users.
