New Forum Posts: Where Do They Go?

In summary, there is a new feature where threads posted in a specific forum will only appear in that forum and not in the "new posts" section. This can be inconvenient for some users who like to scan through all new posts, but it is how the system currently works and is common on other forums as well. Additionally, there may be a technical issue with how some users are attempting to reply to posts.

Is it now so that when a new thread is posted into a specific forum eg "classical physics then it stays in that forum only and does not appear in "new posts"? I ask this because I started a thread in the quantum physics forum and it hasn't appeared in new posts.
If this is a new part of the system I don't particularly like it because I liked to scan through every new post and it was easy to do that. Not so easy now.
Thanks

But if you started the thread, it is NOT a new post to you, only to others. If someone responds then that would be a new post and should show up. I think that's how it works now. I haven't really been paying attention to it. That IS how it works on some forums I'm on.

Dadface, why do you just keep quoting what others have said with no response to it? I mean, I just don't get the point.

It may be a problem with the way he is trying to reply. I deleted a post of Dadface's out of another thread when I saw it was only a quote, and now see it happening several times in this thread. I'll start a conversations with him...
