Changes in new posts behavior

I think I'm experiencing a difference since recent changes were made, and it is not an improvement for me. Others may well like it this way because they have a different approach to reading the new stuff, but I thought i'd pass it along for what its worth.

When I first log on and hit "new posts" I get all the threads that have posts since the last time I logged on. If I click on a thread and open it and then close it, it is gone from the list of threads with new posts. If I want to refer back to it, then I'm left wondering which forum the post was in and how I can even find it.

If I'm not mistaken, the way it used to work was that if I looked at a new thread and then went on to another, the one i looked at was dimmed, but still there. I found this much more satisfactory, because for some reason I tend to shop around among threads with new posts, and then go back to some of them for more reading. It is now very hard to do this.

I'm willing to accept the fact that I'm the only member who reads in this perverse way, and if so I'm sure I'll learn to live with it. I just thought I'd mention it in case others were suffering in silence.
