Changing ammount of time before new posts go?

[UKSBD]

The first thing I click is new posts, but sometimes if I read a message,
but then start writing replies or go looking around at other sites, by the
time I get back the new posts are no longer highlighted.

Is there a way of extending the time that new posts are displayed?

I'm afraid this is an issue I've had with vbulletin for a while - either new posts updates too quickly (as you point out) or else to counter this they update too slowly (ie, each day) which causes additional confusion.

My personal tip - click on new posts, then open each discussion in a new window as required. That way, you keep with your original list, and can refresh that after you've checked out any posts of interest.

Hope that helps.
