"New Posts" feature is malfunctioning

[iamawakenow]

I'm having a problem with the new theme I have downloaded for my new forum. 

I am using the Midnight Blue theme. On the Homepage in the Legend box (above the info & stats box) it has an image I uploaded to represent "New Posts" and another image to represent "No New Posts".

I have 4 new members (yay!) that have joined my forum and have made some new posts. The problem is, when I scroll down through the categories and threads on the Homepage, all that is showing up on the active threads is the "No New Posts" image instead of it showing the "New Posts" image....

I went into Theme Manager and looked through the entire images page to see if I could fix the problem there and I could not.

So then I went into Layout Templates to see if I could find the string of code that says "New Posts" to see if I could 'activate it' somehow, but I could not find it in the Posting Page or the Thread sections...

Can someone please tell me what I can do to fix this anomaly so that when a new member makes a new post, the "New Posts" image will show up on the Homepage? 

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with this.  I have spent over 2 hours trying to fix this and I am mentally exhausted...

Hi, iamawakenow.

Based on what I'm seeing on your forum at the moment the icons appear to be working correctly. As of this post the fifth board in your second category shows the New Posts icon.

This icon only reflects that new posts were made in a particular board since the last time you entered that board. Once you've entered the board the New Posts icon will go away regardless of whether or not there are still threads marked as new within it.

Thank you for your reply, Brian.
 

However, the 5th board in the 2nd category on my forum is the only post that shows the "New Posts" image.

There are two other newer posts that have been made after the March 2nd post (the post you're referring to) and those newer posts only show the "No New Posts" image....

I've reread this part of your original post. *I* personally have not entered the boards with the newer posts that I told you about in my reply post - but, perhaps other members or lurkers have entered those boards...and, if that is the case, is what you said above the reason why I'm not seeing the "New Posts" image on the most newest posts?
