It's not really clear in the title that the "Why was FT down" thread has anything to do with the New Posts button not working.
And for some of us, the New Posts button is the MOST used function on FT. I prefer to use it to see what is new here, so I don't have to look at threads that have not changed. I am sure that other people have their own ways to browse, but this is the way that I use FT.

Apparently, at some point the system needs to be taken down for a couple of hours to perform the necessary database repairs, but the appropriate (least disruptive) time hasn't been decided on yet.... or something along those lines.
Guess we just need to be patient. (Besides, the "New Posts" feature, while nice, isn't THAT critical.)
