I cleared out my ignore list and it works now. It wasn’t my system as I got the same problem both at work and at home. It’s clearly something to do with the ignore system.
That said, the new posts function fails to work when the connection or the server is so slow the time resets itself by the time the page loads, giving “no posts met the request” message because it’s been sitting there so long it thinks you’ve been surfing the forums the whole time. Same thing for the 24/7 list. It repopulates before the page loads, and then gives you “no posts”.
