Why am I seeing a bunch of existing posts now being listed as new? What have I done to screw things up this badly? ---

A change made by discourse: See this thread: > [@Where has the unread shortcut gone?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-has-the-unread-shortcut-gone/1032015): > > Today when I got to the site, the unread shortcut, which lists the topics that you are watching and have new posts disappeared from the top list. I still have New, Latest, Top, but now unread is no longer there. I did find the url for it works: [https://boards.straightdope.com/unread](https://boards.straightdope.com/unread) and it is in the hamburger (?) menu under shortcuts, but it is no longer on the main board page. This is on a browser on a PC. Is this a change? Or a theme setting? //i\\
