i like it personally :D

Lol first i thought it said 5,000 unread private messages and then i read it closer lol

I like it also. I just click on the unread posts in the upper right corner now when I come to the site.

I'll continue to use this site, sans javascript, the way it was intended.

I think this is pretty annoying and would like to see this reverted back to a simple link so it behaves as we are used.

As I know that this won't be done, I would like to request that at least the access key is being added to the new link in the upper right corner.

You dont know that at all.

In fact, it probably is going to change, the community/modifications new posts links may be moved to the search dropdown (at the side of the search button), thus allowing the New Posts link to revert back.

New Modifications is already on the search dropdown and has since the new style went live. Just need to move the New Community posts link there.

I think the adding of the community part to the search was something requested now for months, it's nice to see it's still being considered.

Two different things Wayne.

The "New Modifications" link is newly released modifications (in the last 30 days) as opposed to new posts in the modifications forums. :)

I guess I don't think of people just reading new posts in that section so never actually check the link under new posts. Thought it just listed new modifications because that is the title of the link.
