Is there a way to see new threads listed here? Not new posts, but new threads? I must be a dummy because I've looked and looked and yet, here I am asking.
I've seen that section, but I think it's mislabeled. There are threads in there that are weeks old, near the top of the list! I think that's a list of recent -posts-. Fourth from the top is "Daily WORDLE - please, no spoilers!" which is months old. I'm looking for threads that were started recently. Am I missing something here?Look along the right side of the home page. There is a window titled “recent threads”.
Another option is to click the “portal” button along the top. This leads to a screen showing 30 recent threads.
If you click on any forum, the threads are presented in order of freshness, so all the recently updated are listed first - after the stickies.
if you click on "New Posts" there's a timestamp so you can see when the last comment was posted.
I believe you're correct, it's most recently updated threads, meaning newest posts. "New Posts" in the top nav bar seems to do the same thing, in a slightly different format, showing individual threads and the time and date of the last post in them.I've seen that section, but I think it's mislabeled.

There's probably not a view for newest threads, although I can see how that might be useful. I suppose the designers of vBulletin were more concerned with showing recent activity, which includes any post, whether it starts or continues a thread.
Thanks for all the info. My concern was that all the posts on old threads would push down a new thread so I wouldn't see it, but it appears the traffic is "slow" enough that new threads will generally appear on that page somewhere. So mission mostly accomplished.
I generally like to see new threads because I can decide "is that something I'm interested in talking about or not?" pretty quickly. I'd rarely skip a new thread but then jump into it later.
