I'm not sure how to go about this but being able to refresh the 'New Posts' screen without having to click the 'New Posts' button would be nice. Thus far it seems to link to 'index.php?find-new/<#>/posts' with <#> being the number of times I have gone to that page as it goes up by 1 weather an hour or 2 minutes has passed since I last checked. Thus if I refresh 'index.php?find-new/38/posts' it will only show topics that were new for the 38th time I checked the new posts page rather than new posts period, including dehighlighting old topics instead of removing them.
Why it even does it this way I have no clue. It seems horribly complicated when it should be very simple to just have the page display new posts without a check on if you had visited it recently or not.
Screencaps of what I mean Spoilered below
Note the URL addresses and the numbers in them. It went from 223 from the first screencap, stayed on it for the second, and went to 225 in the third because 224 was when I hit refresh but it didn't update the URL for the new address and just dehighlighted the topic I checked.
It's not a critical failure but it is a minor annoyance I have noticed that should theoretically be easy to fix.
