A couple of things about that then. First, to clarify, my posts on the all posts new page haven't been shared by others, so don't show up on the posts trending page. Which means most of my posts aren't being noticed by others. Secondly, this leads to me missing many new posts by others, coz I only see the new posts page when I post something, or new posts by people I folow (maybe). I can't see the option for the new posts and trending posts, I only see an all posts option. I love this site but I think this is really unclear how it works in this regard. I believe there are people not seeing my posts and I am missing lots of great content. Am I right about this or just being obtuse.
I wonder if anyone else is missing that like I was, I think so when seeing the popularity of trending posts compared to new posts. The all posts button default must be set to trending as I have never used the new/trending part as I never even noticed it. Maybe the part that says 'all posts', should be split there to new post and trending posts. Just a thought. Thanks for the clarification thenewgreen, now I can make the most of this site :-)
