Something I've wondered about but never asked...

This is probably a little "late in the game" to be asking, but since the new "ChetBoard" came into being I've wondered about some of the clickable links on the Index page...
What does "unviewed posts" mean? Unviewed by who, me, or anyone? I would think nearly all posts would be "unviewed" (until somebody "views" them)!
What does "active topics" mean? Again, I'd think that all topics would be "active", as long as they've been posted!
One of the things I used to like about the old ChetBoard format, was that once you had read a post, it changed color when you brought the page up again, so you didn't have to scroll through a bunch of posts you'd already read, to get to the latest ones. I've found that about the only link I regularly use, is the "read new posts" one, but I'm not too sure that works unless you check the 'Board daily, because I always wonder if the "new" is compared to what, as I notice many of these seem to remain there for a while, even though I have already read them?
Just my thoughts...
