When I am browsing AAPK I usually will use the little pull down menu in the top left corner, and go through the different categories listed there. But what exactly determines if a topic is an " active topic"? I would assume from the name that it would be a topic that is currently getting alot of posts, but there are some topics that never seem to show up there, despite receiving a large amount of activity.
I know that threads I have posted in will appear under "your posts", but even when some of those are apparently quite active, they don't appear under "active topics".
And what about "unread posts" ? What determines which topics end up there? Is that only topics where the last post has not been read by anyone at all yet? If there is an unread post in an otherwise active topic, which category will it fall into?
...and while I'm here, what about "new posts"? Wouldn't that essentially be the same as an unread post? Or can a post still be considered "new" even when it is no longer "unread"?
I know these are trifling questions of minimal importance...I just have been curious for some time now, and have off work this morning so thought I would put it out there. I usually just check all of the categories to make sure I don't miss anything anyway!
