Had some spare time today, so here you go...
In the welcome panel, you'll notice a link for viewing the posts since your last visit. This has always been there. However, since people don't always (or ever) log out of the forums, there is always a period after you visit the forums were you aren't active, yet your profile still is. If someone posts during this time, the next time you visit the board, it will not show up as a new post.
Sorry for the quickly worded explanation. But, now on to the solution...
Right above "View New Posts" is a new link called "View Today's Active Threads". This will perform a search on the forums and bring back all threads that have had new posts in the last day. This will keep people from missing out on anything.
Let me know if you have questions.
