Is it still doing this? If so, please try logging off and then back on again and let me know if it's still doing it.

I've made small changes to how the "New Posts" and "Today's Posts" behave to improve the performance of the Forums (and site). Whenever you do either of those two searches, the Forum software generates a search id for that specific set of search results. Previously, the first page of results wasn't identifying the search id via the URL. What this meant was that whenever you were viewing the first page of results and going through each thread and then hitting "back" on your browser to return to the search results page, it was actually re-doing the entire search again, which was a big waste of resources. Now, when you click on either of those links, it will actually redirect you to the search id that was generated, so that when you go through its results and hit back, it goes back to the results from that specific search id, rather than re-doing the whole search again. This is significantly more efficient as it saves the server from having to re-do the search results every time someone hits "back" after viewing one of the threads from the results.

However, if you now bookmark the results page of either "New Posts" or "Today's Posts", you will be bookmarking the corresponding search id for that specific search, which will eventually expire and show "no results". So you need to make sure you manually remove the "&searchi=[number]" parameter from the URL to get it to work properly.

I'm not sure if that's what's causing your particular issue, but have a look and see if it is.

If anyone else is having issues with the "New Posts" or "Today's Posts", or if you are unable to resolve the issues, please post here and let me know. Thanks.

OK, then this seems to be an issue with mobile browsers that don't accept cookies, which I suspect is also brats' case. I'm investigating it as we speak and will let you know as soon as it's fixed. Give me a few minutes...

This should be fixed now. Please give it a shot and let me know.
