Forgot to mention that the "Active in the last..." menu doesn't appear at the bottom of the "New Content" page, only the "Active Content" page. Also, if you go to your board settings options, you can choose a "View New Content" method. Either "Show me all new content since my last visit", or "Show me all content that I have not read".

Ah, I get it - you only get new content that's timestamped later than your last visit. So, when my computer stops and shuts itself down (which it did at about 7.30 this evening) the board thinks I'm not interested in the stuff I hadn't got around to reading before it shut down. Bummer. MG There's also the "Today's Active Content" link near the bottom of the main forum page (in one of the dark blue bars), that appears to give you the threads that have been posted to in the past 24 hrs or so - different than "View New Content", which as you say only offers up what is timestamped since your last visit. The first thing I did when I found that the new board was up was to copy that link ("Today's Active Content") and paste it in as my bookmark for the site. I'm not sure if Jim adjusted anything since then, but at the time I didn't see a way to bring up topics that were older than 24 hours. I see that there is one now (at the bottom of the "Active Content" page. Look for "Active in the last..." and a dropdown menu for more options.
