New posts

[hinch]

I am looking for a way to implement a New posts: section that will display how many new posts that the user hasn't read, I used to use a welcomeblock that displayed this information but using that code would require an unnecessary sql query. In the screenshot below there is currently a New posts: with a link to all the current new posts, I would like it to display the number of posts that are new after the New posts... is this possible?

It is possible. I have a custom script I created on my site, and then Paul M has a hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123886 that should help you out.
