But doesn't that just mean that there weren't a lot of posts?

Sometimes you just have to do what feels right with your money instead of what is "optimal". Too many focus on optimal outcomes, when good enough is good enough. (Thanks to Retired @ 50)
Well, that’s what I assumed until I saw this thread. It sure would save a lot of time if it is accurately just showing posts with new entries since my last viewing.Originally Posted by wintersong

I guess that would be easy enough to check. Look at (and count) the New Posts but don't click on any. Go back to Forums and look under each category. If there are 5 under New Posts but multiple bolded items in each of the categories, then we know there is a problem.

Nope, it's a problem.
When I click on New Posts, it only gives me 5 threads, and only those posted since 6:01 PM PST.

BS4: 17% of gross to pension & Roth + 14% employer match to pension

I'm getting that problem now, too.
No, anything you haven't read stays there. I usually have pages of threads I don't read.

Moving to BS3. My car loan is at 2.25%, and my high-yield savings account pays 5.15% It doesn't make sense to pay off the car early.
BS3: $8150
BS2: Car loan $8502.25/$17,724.29
At 10pm Central, there are 7 unread posts listed under "New Posts."
Looking at each of the forums, The unread Posts are:
1 in the Emergency Prep on CoVid
1 in Fitness
1 in Visitor (this thread)
1 in General (by CBent)
and 3 in Frugal
So 7 items are highlighted when I go to the specific forum, and 7 when I go to New Posts.
I do use Chuck's technique of clicking on the Mark Forums Read button when there are things I don't want to read (after opening up the ones I do want to read) so I don't end up with pages of unread things. I guess that means it is working right for me but wrong for some of the others of you?
Just to clarify, there were 7 unread posts since the last time I had looked which was maybe 30-60 minutes earlier. For those of you who hadn't looked all day, there definitely should have been more than 7 posts!

It's not always things I don't want to read, a lot of times it's things I didn't have time to read. Then next time I log in they have fallen below the line of "threads not updated since last visit but still contain unread threads". If I use "Mark all forums read" I lose those.

That's very true. You do lose all of them.
But you're saying that the threads under the "not updated" line have disappeared for you even though you didn't read them and you didn't mark them as read? Odd. When you go to the specific forum, are the unread ones still there in bolded form?
