Stephen De Gabrielle (spdegabrielle) is seeking to improve the new user onboarding experience on his server, noting that the ‘New & Unread Topics’ section displays posts from over 8 months ago for new users. Maiki suggests adjusting the default other new topic duration minutes setting, which controls the default time frame for topics considered ‘new’ maiki. Stephen confirms this setting was already at 2 days but still observed outdated topics. After forcing the change for all users, the results improved but did not fully align with the specified timeframe spdegabrielle. Don adds that the ‘Suggested Topics’ section is likely what Stephen is referring to and recommends checking the suggested topics unread max days old and suggested topics max days old settings to refine the display Don.
I’ve been trying to improve the new user on boarding experience for my server.
I went through the process of signing up as a new user and noticed that the ‘New & Unread Topics’ are all over 8 months old.
Is there a way to fine-tune what topics are shown?
Best regards,
Stephen
‘default other new topic duration minutes’ was set at 2 days
The new user I created only minutes ago displayed ‘new and unread’ posts from 2022 - it seems like the new user accounts are created with no time limit on new and unread?
This implies that changing the setting will not impact new users?

I went back and registered a new user after forcing the change for all users. It did seem to improve the results for new and unread for a newly registered user, but they still weren’t within the timeframe specified.
