In your user settings there is an option how the View New Content link behaves...

Just FYI:

I know that we all sorely miss the Recent Activity ( all Topics / replies / unanswered/ by date ) that you are all use too. I am hoping that a near future release will provide that feature back.

In the meantime a little information regarding how the View New Content and Today's Activity work..

The VNC (View New Content ) will display ONLY posts that have been updated or posted to based on the setting in your profile. (see above post) so yes this view is a bit misleading

and things will seem to disappear off this list.

The Today's Activity on the other had shows all Topics that have had activity, for the given date range.

Hope this helps.

Any chance of giving us back the indication when looking at Today's Activity of threads in which we participated (different color symbol, perhaps)? I have used My Content, but it's not exactly the same feature. I'm losing track of threads that I've replied to and need followup. (I don't use subscribe, it would be too many).

PS: Boy, it's fun being the "user" for a change!
