How come "New Posts" and "Unified View" produce different results?
I don't understand what "Unified View" is, assuming "New Posts" is what it says it is. What is the purpose and how does it decide what threads are worthy of being in the Unified View?
Re: How come "New Posts" and "Unified View" produce different results?
"Today's Posts" in Quick Link also often differs from "New Posts". No idea why.
Re: How come "New Posts" and "Unified View" produce different results?
each is a slightly different query.
"Unified view" does a getdaily with days=30 but excludes some sub-fora.
"New posts" does a getnew
As far as I can tell "getnew" is everything that has been ammended since the last time you logged in but leaves out the stuff that you've already read during this session.
getdaily seems to get everything that has had some activity (posts) in the last so many days - regardless if you've already read those items this session.
The irritating this is that "unified view" excludes three sub fora - I don't really know which three except that, I'm pretty sure For Sale and Lounge are excluded.
Re: How come "New Posts" and "Unified View" produce different results?
Yep, "Unified" (the default presentation) excludes For Sale, The Lounge, and New Products. The exclusion was at the request of many members who didn't want to see posts in those areas.
There is a sticky post in the News section that describes how to tailor your own search to your own preferences:

Tom is really good, but he can't fix Microsoft's mistakes. :eek:

Has Tom already established that the IE9 incompatibility results from a Microsoft "mistake?"
