Perhaps it is just my preference... but would it be possible to have the number of "new posts" always be relative to the last unread message?
Here's an example of what I mean. I log into Ihub, go to my Favorites section, and I see there are 200 new posts for a particular board. So I click on the "200" in the "New Posts" column. I read a 5 messages and then log out. If I log back in, it will show 0 new posts. I'd rather it show there are still 195 new posts, pointing to the next unread message.
