quoting Hallow XIII:

torco: if you don't want to read them, that's what the mark read buttons are for!

mark a quarter of ten thousand posts as read? ain't nobody got time fo that


I don't know... i think the datum of <x posts unread> is not necessarily a bad datum, i just don't see the need for it to be mentioned twice? also, perhaps "x posts have been made since your last visit" is a more pertinent number to display?
