"View New Posts" Capabilty on this Site?
Does the Baja Nomads web-site have the capability to look at all new posts since my last log-in? That would be handy since there are a lot of
individual forums and takes a lot of time to go through them all. Other similar web-sites have this capability.
Sorry if I asked this on the wrong forum but couldn't find another place to ask.

Wow, I've been reading posts on here for a long time & never noticed the Todays Post button.

Your welcome. One thing that bugs me slightly is that the lastest post time seems to be about 8 hours in the future (note that I live in the
Pacific time zone). It looks like some internal clock is off.
It also seems to go back two days. I suspect I would miss posts if I don't visit the site at least every 48 hours. Best would be if "Todays Posts"
would really dispaly all posts since I last visited the web-site like other such chat rooms but I suspect it doesn't work that way.
Anyone know how it really works?

The forum
software used here does not do that as extensively as software being used on other sites. It's a trade-off with the benefits of the software being
used here. As noted, you can see the most recent posts (actually set to be forums active within the past 48 hours, not 24) via the "today's posts"
link.
I could stretch this time frame out, but have had limited feedback that it would be worthwhile to do so.

Thread moved to:
"Suggestions, Comments, or Issues" - which is meant to be the forum for any of those three things pertaining to this site....
Thanks,

This has to do with your settings in
your user profile, where you can set your local time zone.
The site works from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC - also see GMT for Greenwich Mean Time as a standard), and you can change your settings relative
to UTC/GMT in the user control panel.
