"New Posts" only goes back 24 hours??

[davidguthrie]

I enjoy reading thru this forum, though not necessarily a regular poster, and do not always get here daily. And there are several different threads that catch my eye (particularly anything Scottish). But I have noticed recently that when I know I haven't been here in a few days, the "New Posts" still only go back 24 hours, therefore have missed (who knows how many) new posts. And the visit automatically tags all threads as read at that point. Has this changed recently? Or is it just me?
