We’re happy to announce the release of the new posts section!
You’ll see this new section underneath a post and underneath your category list. Your visitors will instantly see what's new when they visit your forum and also they don’t have to click back after reading a post because new posts will be waiting at the bottom!

It’s a great addition that will help your members discover new posts effortlessly!

You can choose to hide or show it anytime by heading to the Forum settings “Layout” section and changing the “Show new posts” toggle.

What do you think? We want your feedback, so don’t hesitate to leave it down below!
@Mantas Peldžius you seem to be coming from the viewpoint of a Wix employee or developer, but you are flat out wrong when you say,
In your example, what you have in the "Recent Posts" is that it's actually sorted by the recent activity in the post itself, not how recent the post is.
My "Recents Posts" has always sorted itself out by POSTS, not activity. I don't know where you are getting your information from.
RE:
Regarding the new addition, it is sorted by the time the post itself was created, not by the activity inside the post
Look at my screenshot to Domas above ... in the "new addition" they are not sorting by "the time of the post itself".
You might want to clear that up for yourself before you communicate that erroneous information to others.
@Domas Sabockis re:
It depends how you configure your "Recent Posts Widget".
I checked that area first thing and there was nothing in the settings that I could change. However, you know already that I have that bug in the editor right now, so I'll check back later and see if it has solved.

EDIT: I looked more into what you're trying to say ... nope, it's not happening like that. The "New Posts" are still NOT newest. I've already configured my "Recent Posts" to display by "Date Posted" as in your example screenshot ... the "Recent Post" widget is working as expected.
This NEW thing you've added does NOT show "New Posts" but old ones. Is there a setting for that? I can't find it anywhere.
Here is an example, on your own forum here: ... those are NOT "newest" posts.
Like much of what Wix offers, nice idea, but not really well thought out.
You are aware that you already have a "Recent Posts" app, right?
“Newest Posts”? They are not.
In the screenshot provided, check out the dates of the “newest” in this recent forum app addition. Compare them to the “Recent Posts” app.
I’m getting posts from months ago in the “Newest Posts” section!

While I actually think it is a great idea to bring up older posts (that members may have missed if they weren't online at the time of the original posting).
Please consider calling them something else.
Perhaps,
“Explore Posts”
“Interesting Posts”
“Discover Posts”
Or just give us the option to name that area what we want.
