Why does Polk remove threads from "Todays Post" so quickly?

I'm not sure if there is something I'm not understanding here, but why do the Polk threads disappear so early during the day? I was just looking at about 4 pages of threads when I took a break to get something to eat. When I came back there was half of one page showing. There were some threads that I wanted to come back to and explore, but now they are gone, and I have no idea what all they were? You would think with folks just getting home from work and ready to get online that this wouldn't be. I'm on some other forums but not experienced this on those sites to this degree. Is Polk running out of ram or what? lol

    I believe when you click the new post, it shows you the new post - when you leave that page the list is considered read and will show you new post since your last click

    I don't think so, the New Posts list seems to be server side and has nothing to do with who is logged in. I'm sure there's some logic behind it, but I've yet to figure it out, but I've also noticed quite a bit of randomness as to what's listed.

    Personally I think it's magic

    Weird, it doesn't work that way for me at all. I get the same list of posts every time I refresh...

    Same list of posts if I refresh, new list if I click on the button "new posts". Then it seems to consider whatever was in the page before as read...

    It must be an account setting, because it does the same thing for me on 3 different computers in different locations.

    I click New Posts and I get a list of posts, I go into a few of those posts. I then click New Posts or What's New again and get the same list of posts. I always stay logged in.

    He's talking about Today's Posts, not New Posts. I also use Today's Posts because if you do other things while browsing the forums, some threads that were new when you started browsing won't be new when you continue browsing, and the search will expire.

    Today's Posts shows all posts from the last 24 hours. So I suspect what's happening is that posts greater than 24 hours old are dropping from his list of Today's Posts as the clock ticks on.

    RT-12, CS350-LS, PSW-300, Infinity Overture 1, Monoprice RC-65i
    Adcom GFA-545II, GFA-6000, Outlaw Audio 990, Netgear NeoTV
    Denon DCM-460, DMD-1000, Sony BDP-360, Bravia KDL-40Z4100/S
    Monster AVL-300, HTS-2500 MKII

    Look to the far right of the bar containing New Posts, and you'll see Quick Links, which is a drop-down menu. In that menu is Today's Posts.

    We have been getting a lot of spammers posting movies lately. Usually they will post 20 to 40 threads. I remove their postings so there are not 30 or so deleted threads cluttering up the board. Cheers. :cool:

    And I must say in the last couple of weeks the spam/clutter has been much less. Good job and keep up the good work! :wink:
