Since FT just told me that I have read every post in every thread in the Aer Lingus forum (except for the first three threads), I have obviously been busy elsewhere.
FT also tells me that I have made great progress in reading most every post in the Air Aegean forum, although I am not quite as close to competing this as I am the Aer Lingus forum.
Ditto Alitalia. While I have made reasonable progress in the Qantas forum, I'll have to speed up on my progress there.
Bottom line, since I have never before visited any of the above fora, FT in non compos mentis when it comes to displaying my actual browsing record.
========================================
Now this is really interesting. If I go back thru the DL forum, 5 days back to October 19, every thread older than that shows No New Posts... even threads that I can be confident that I have never visited. Ditto the Hilton thread. Transition occurs at about the same time on October 19.
=======================================
Edited to add: OK, the pattern is now clear. Any thread in any forum that I go to shows "No New Posts" if the most recent post is earlier than about noon on 10/19.
Cookie issue? Intentional design issue for FT?
Anyway, this appears to be an issue separate from the "takes you to the last post regardless" issue.
