On SES, if 200 threads had been updated I would only see say 10, as only 10 had seen posts in the last couple of hours.
This isn't right, and is not the behaviour I experience - when I leave SES for a few days, I return to pages and pages of 'New Posts'. The list contains every thread that has been updated since I last visited the forum (and always has done - up to the configured limit of 10 days). Without looking into it further, I'm not sure what you're doing if you only get a restricted list of threads based on a time limit....

I've checked our vB settings and user tracking is currently set to 'Inactivity/Cookie Based". However, I use SES on several systems (work & home) and the New Posts is always correct, whatever system I use. I typically use work systems during the day (as I am now ) and then home PC in the evening. My home PC will only show New Posts since when i last visited at work, as it should....
