...are showing up in "New Posts".

I hope this is temporary. Please tell me it is.

[Pete]

Yes, it's temporary.

[MadMonk]

Too bad it's temporary. It makes it more convenient.

[OKCisOK4me]

Yes, it's temporary.

Sorry Pete. I didn't see this thread until after the PM.

[David]

Yes, it's temporary.

Thank god.

Politics are now removed from the "Latest Posts" search.

Best of both worlds! Thanks Pete!

Hey Pete, "Politics" posts are showing up in the "Latest Posts" - is this intentional? Some of those links are super incendiary and I'd love to not have to see them

[Mel]

Yes, it's temporary.

Yay. Now know the dif between Latest and New posts.

I’ll just be glad when tomorrow comes and goes and we”ll be spared political TV and radio ads for a while!

There was a tread awhile back, it changed, but seemingly only for some people. Latest posts now shows Politics, while New posts does not.

On my desktop, when I click "LATEST POSTS", it excludes the politics forum. Using a mobile browser, I see it all.

I've noticed that if you have the setting "Exclude forums from "What's New":" set for politics, the politics forum DOESN'T show up under latest posts, but does show up under "What's New". If you don't have that setting for enabled, politics shows up under latest, but not under what's new. So sort of opposite.

Latest posts shows politics in mine too.. I just try to stay away.. I liked it when they were not there..

THANK YOU! This fixed it for me.

2. In the navigation menu on the left, under the heading My Settings, find General Settings and click on it.

Interesting. I had done this in the past, but apparently it somehow was unselected. Still listed, just not selected. Thank you.
