What link do you use to see that page ?

My guess is that Conor is fixing something for Sparks.

Cheers! I had never noticed that button before

I know that Conor has been asked if there was a way to make them standout more so it's probably being tested...

I've updated the style of this announcement to something a little more aesthetically pleasing yet still quite obvious.

Not bad but remember to use it sparingly. If everyone reckons that their announcement is important and we end up with a page of red threads then the point will be lost...

Why not just use the main page? It has all the new posts without the calor... announcements.

It's paginated. You see the last 500 new posts instead of the last 20/50.

I've been browsing boards exclusively through the "new posts" link for about 7 years now (when it was working). I'm shocked that so many people have never seen it...

I still don't see how you're supposed to find it from the main page, or anywhere else.

New posts and subbed list is the only way I use this place, new posts is a great way of seeing all sorts of random threads that might not be in forums you would normally visit and like Pimpey said it's great for spotting spam quickly. Can't even remember the last time I used the forum index, I think it might have been the day I registered actually
