The "view new content" button does not appear to be bringing up posts in the new forum for me. Is there something I should do on my end (besides resetting safari's cache, and restarting) or is this a hiccup in getting the forum going?

Edit: upon further examination, it's not that it doesn't appear--it's that it doesn't stay (but with a different color to suggest I've read it before, unlike the other forums.

I'm not sure what you mean by "doesn't stay".

In your settings, what do you have selected in "View New Content Setting"?

"Show me all content I have not read"

However, when I click "View new content" content I have read, but is new-ish also shows up (for example this thread...I read your post last night, but went to sleep without responding). I can then go back and easily find recent posts even if I've read them. This is not true with the N/B forum. For that forum only, once I read a thread it "disappears" from the "view new content" stuff until someone else posts in the thread.

Does this have to do with the fact that the other forums have a dark blue symbol on the left (on the main page) but the N/B forum is gray?

Blue means there are unread messages in the forum, gray means you've read everything there.
