How does "new posts" function work?
I like to look at all new posts from time to time as it let's me see what kind of issues are being discussed in forums I normaly wouldn't frequent. However, while I usually get back 400+ posts, after about 5-10 pages (125-250 threads) I get a message that says "no search terms found" and I can't see anymore threads further back after this. Is there a way I can avoid this problem and see more threads? Is there something in my rofile that determines how far back I can see new posts? Thx.

It's my impression that the search function that brings up all new posts times out after about 90 minutes. I'm able to scan the titles of 300 to 400 posts as long as I do it within that period of time. And if I find some threads engrossing, then I might only get to far fewer.
