Hi Bluu,
View new posts is smart, but not very smart. It will display all new posts since your last visit, but it expires in 15 minutes if there is no activity. This means if it shows 5 new messages, but after reading message number 3, you go away for more than 15 minutes and click again on "view new messages" it will consider all 5 messages read, and only show newer ones.
To make sue you didn't miss any messages if this happen, there's a useful trick, 2 actually:
1. Open each of the new messages in a new window, by right clicking your mouse over the message and choosing "Open in new window."
2. Or, you can log-off, and click "View todays messages" which shows all messages in the last 24 hours, and they are sorted by the latest first.
Wa'il
