4susiesjoy: Yes, thanks, but I already knew that. Your instructions are exactly what I just wrote in the original post to explain what I have to do to get around the glitch... that is, to get back to "Continue viewing recent images", I have to click again on "New" (since instead of continuing to page 2 of new photos, the system instead jumps to "Popular").

I don't see any particular preference setting that seems to have anything to do with this. How have you set things up for yourself so that "Continue viewing recent images" works as expected?
