It seems that the New Posts link has a slight error in the code. It reads as

New Posts: X (in Y Threads)

But it displays as:

New Posts: X (in X Threads)

The link is displaying the post count in both occurrences instead of the Post and Thread counts.

hmmm.... looks like it is working now. Not sure what happened in the mean time. Last time it was showing 12 (in 12 Threads) where the search ID returned 9 new threads. Strange.

That's because the search is cached and is only refreshed once in a certain period of time.

Probably just me, but I would love a system option that would reset those counters to zero at the time I clicked the link, saving me the need to Click, copy URL, mark forums read, past URL and proceed.
Still, it's so much better than the "old" way

In your case you don't want to click mark forums read at all until you're done for the day. As you read each thread it will automatically be taken off the getnew list.
