Threads in "What's New

[Hard Truth]

How is it determined, and what is the criteria for threads appearing in "What's New?" I have seen brand new threads that never get listed and old threads that stay listed despite lack of recent activity.

Whichever threads that have been posted in most recently isn't it?

No, I have seen brand new threads that never get listed and old threads that stay listed despite lack of recent activity.

This is based on posts, not threads. Any time a thread gets a new post, it goes to the top of the list. This is why it may seem that nothing is changing.

I have added a post to a thread and it does not appear on What's New. What's New does not consistently show all the latest posts and sometimes threads remain listed on What's New despite having no activity.

Is this it? http://www.debatepolitics.com/polls...ter-classified-hate-group.html#post1064995411

If it is, I see it in 'What's New?'

For example a post I made at 7:29 in the thread on whether Black Lives Matter is a hate group did not show up on What's New, yet threads with no updates since 7:28 or 7:27 remain listed. Yes, I refreshed the What's New page.

If it was this one - http://www.debatepolitics.com/gener...but-why-not-ugly-people-4.html#post1064995375 I see that as well.

Sorry for not responding, I went offline after my last post.

I have observed many times over a year that new posts do not always result in a thread being listed on the What's New page. If all new messages should do so automatically ,the programming is not working correctly.

The threads you are participating in will not show up in 'What's New' if you are the last person to post in that thread. Because the thread isn't "new" to you (you just posted in it) so it isn't "new" which is why it doesn't show up. Try reading a thread from the 'What's New' feed and it will disappear when you refresh 'What's New' after you've made it to the last page of that thread. Once you've read it, it isn't "new" to you which explains why I can see your threads you just participated in and you can't. The programming is absolutely working correctly.

Thanks, I guess that explains it.
