I've noticed a couple of times now that when I choose 'view new posts' it doesn't list them all.
There were two sections marked as having new posts, but it only lists the one from Members Puzzles, and not the Tally Ho section.

No idea why that should be the case! Unfortunately, there aren't enough new posts to see whether it's just showing the newest thread or it's missing the Magazine section out in its search.

Tally ho has been coming up in my list, from time to time!

I'm wondering about the symbol to the left of the list by each item. (Blue circle with little black dot top left and picture of a page in it) The one by this item looks fine, but the one by word zendo is doing cartwheels. I can't fathom the difference.

I think the spinning symbol means it is an "active topic" - that there have been several postings in that thread since you last looked, rather than just one or two.

Not sure about the lack of "new posts" problem; it's hard to test this sort of thing easily. I shall have a look.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".
