Each time I come to the board and hit new posts it says no topics fit your search criteria(or words to that effect). What am I doing wrong?

I don't understand what you mean by "New Posts" Can you explain a little more?

"View posts since last visit"
Doesn't work for me...  Would it have something to do with cookies, or do I need to pay more attention to how the board works?

One of the very few things bad about phpBB is that if you visit the board, and check for new messages since your last visit, then close your browser -- accidentally or on purpose -- the post counter will reset. So, when you log back on, it will appear as though you've read all the posts.
I'm not even sure that there is a fix for that feature.
If I make the mistake of accidentally closing my browser, I'll go to the search page and enter an asterisk (*) in the Search Query/Keyword field, then select 1 Day under Search Options/Search Previous, then click Search and you should then be able to at least recover that day's postings.

Quentin, if you have your Security settings configured High, then you may need to add goldtalk.com to your trusted sites, or allow all cookies.
Just a thought.

The 'closing the browser' issue has been a complaint about phpBB on other sites as well. It only happens if you close the browser. Simply surfing to other sites after visiting Goldtalk does not mark everything a read, you have to shut down the browser (probably all browser instances).
My guess is the cookie is set to expire on browser shutdown.
Maybe I can try to locate the code where the cookie is set and bump it up to a day. Maybe that would fix it.
I don't know if phpBB 2.2 (the next major release) will have a fix or not.
