It does normally check the recent posts page, although it looks like my parser was locked on the recent posts job again.. at some point we need to write in some sort of auto-unlocking mechanism on the job check, to at least see if the job has been locked for an unusual amount of time and auto-clear it. The last check on the recent posts page would have been around 5 days ago, but this job is cleared now, so it should be checking again.
