Relax, it's just chaos.
I'm finding it very difficult to figure out what page I should use here to monitor new posts. "New Posts" doesn't work the way I expect because (I think) it disappears things after they have been read. And why is there a "New Posts" that is separate from "Recent Posts"? And if you reload "Recent Posts" it doesn't update! You have to go to another page, then come back and click again to get it to update.
I believe I may be suffering from Irritable Owl Syndrome.
