Now that we've got the "New Look" boards, the newest answer doesn't show at the top of the page anymore - a bonus for those threads that got bumped after many years of sitting in the past. The other bonus is that posters who continually bumped threads on their "favorite" topics now don't see them appear at the top either.

There is another way however, if you click on the bell at the top of the page new answers and kudos are there.
