This may not be an issue for most, but when I visit SRP, I usually start by clicking "New posts" to see what's current. But once I've clicked on a thread, it disappears from the "New posts" array until somebody adds a new comment. This is different from most fora I visit, where "new" means something more on the order of "this thread has been active recently," and such threads stay in place after I've viewed them -- for me, that works better, since I sometimes read a thread, think about it a bit, and decide I'd like to put in a word.

Is the way it works here at SRP a deliberate decision, or just an artifact of the software? And could it, or should it, be changed?
