Hi Jim,
The way it works (by default) is that if you're not logged in (or you're a guest), the link in the nav bar shows "Today's Posts" instead of "New Posts" and will give you posts from the last 24 hours... If you are a member and have logged in the link changes to "New Posts" - that being the posts you haven't read since the last time you logged into the forum. I can see why the forum default is set up that way, but I agree with what you are saying. It would be better to be able to see the last (however many) posts.
There is a way to do this already although it's certainly not obvious. Just click on the link
Guitar For Beginners & Beyond Statistics - Top 10 (it's just below the nav bar on the forum home page) and you'll be taken to a page with the last 100 posts (plus all the other info). I know this isn't ideal, so I'll look into putting a link on the nav bar with the last (say 100 posts). I just have to figure out how to do it

- but I will do it.
Thanks for the suggestion. It's a good one. Keep them comin'
Cheers
Clancy
