Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI've noticed that DU's Latest Threads page seems to recirculate the same posts
a lot. Are there so few posts now that they have to keep rotating old posts to make
things look busier than they are?

(135,425 posts)1. The posts pop back up after twenty or twenty five (don't remember)
responses.
If you see them more than once it's because they're busy threads.
You can go straight to the appropriate forum and read them in list form if you want. You don't have to sample from the main page.

(2,388 posts)2. Oh, so they pop up because they are getting responses?
That makes more sense. I thought the Latest Page meant that they were
the 'newest' posts.

It's possible to change settings so they don't come up. Turn off milestones.

I'm not a paying member so wonder if that's something I can do.

The menu item on the right says milestones. You can switch it
