Brandon, how did you modify your new posts button?

Dude, you've got the new posts button to display posts that are like a week old. I'd love to know how you did that and if I could also do that on my forum.

What is your secret?

it's just set as automatic marking and uses the database option

There's something different. Either it's because you just added me as a full member or because you have something different running. I was at this forum yesterday or the day before and the today's posts goes all the way back for a week. Also "today's posts" generally gets shortened to the posts made within about an hour, after about 15-20 minutes since you first hit new posts. I have been posting on v-bulletin forums for years.

This thread was started on 2/3/2007. I hit the new posts button then.

It is now 2/5/2007. I hit the new posts button again and went back to the earliest thread it showed:

I really wish I knew how to get the same thing out of my new post button. It's drops all posts older than about 30 minutes, I'd say. Your holds on for more than a week.

its just based off the database

I think it's the 3rd option in vboptions
