I use the New Posts feature all the time and think it's one of our better and handiest ones. I 'believe' it works off of your cookies and dials in to the individual. It seems to look up all the posts and new threads since you opened the last one, and arrange them by time for the last post to each thread. Once you exit New Posts, it seems to assume you have opened all that you are interest in, wipes your slate clean and begins keeping track of every post made after that time for you.

If it's a busy time, you can go back in just a few minutes and get a fair size list. If nothing has been posted since you left New Posts, you'll get that message of "No New Posts".

There does seem to be a timer that will not let you go to the next page of posts, if you have let it sit too long. I normally go to the last page (when there are more then one page (25) of post and work my way back. It will allow you to back up from the one you last opened, but not go forward if the time has been too long.
