Only 2 Pages Available in New Posts?

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues accessing more than two pages of New Posts, with attempts to navigate to additional pages redirecting back to page two. Some speculate this may be due to a time-related cutoff or a temporary limitation on the number of new posts available. Others have noted similar problems with posts being incorrectly marked as read or unread, suggesting potential cookie or session issues. The discussion indicates that the problem may not be isolated and could affect multiple users. Overall, it appears to be a common technical glitch rather than an intended feature.

I'm not able to go past the first 2 pages of New Posts. Anybody else having this problem? I click the little down-arrow next to the 2, fill in 3 in the box, and click Go -- takes me right back to page 2. Other numbers in the box (other than 1) also take me to page 2. I'm using the Prime Skin, if that makes any difference.

Hmmm. Maybe it's just supposed to work that way. Now it's up to 3 pages for me. Must be some time-related cutoff or something. Never mind.
 
I was wondering if that's all it was that you were seeing. I see the same kind of behavior--just assumed it was normal.

I had something like that happen to me last summer. After a time, everything was there again.
 
Maybe there were only 2 pages of new posts? I just checked what came up for me, and there was less than 2 pages of new posts since the last time I logged in. Though, I do have problems sometimes with either new posts getting marked as read when I haven't read them (just that I opened PF since they were posted, even if I didn't get around to reading anything), or that it forgets I've read things things I have read, so those get marked as unread even though there aren't any new posts. I used to just have that problem when switching between computers and figured it was a cookie thing or something, but lately, even when I'm only logging in from one computer, it gets confused like that.
