Okay, I made some changes to the code and here are the modified instructions:

In forumdisplay.php find

PHP Code:

$threadids='thread.threadid IN (0'.$stickyids; 


Replace it with

PHP Code:

$threadids='threadid IN (0'.$stickyids; 


Find

PHP Code:

// check to see if there are any threads to display. If there are, do so, otherwise, show message 


Right below it add

PHP Code:

$posts = $DB_site->query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts,threadid FROM post WHERE $threadids AND dateline>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit] GROUP BY threadid");
while ($post = $DB_site->fetch_array($posts)) {
$newpost[$post[threadid]] = $post[posts];
} 


Find

PHP Code:

if (($bbuserinfo[maxposts] != -1) and ($bbuserinfo[maxposts] != 0)) 


Right above it add

PHP Code:

if ($newpost[$thread[threadid]]) {
$newposts = $newpost[$thread[threadid]];
eval("\$numnew = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplaybit_newposts')."\";");
} else {
$newposts = "0";
eval("\$numnew = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplaybit_newposts')."\";");
} 


And then you need to add a template named forumdisplaybit_newposts with the following contents:

$newposts

And then edit the forumdisplay_threadslist template

<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" nowrap><smallfont><a href="$sorturl&sortorder=desc&sortfield=replycount"><font color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Replies</b></font></a> $sortarrow[replycount]</smallfont></td>

Right below it add

<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" nowrap><smallfont><font color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>New Posts</b></font></smallfont></td>

Then find

<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="100%" colspan="8" align="center"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}">

Important! Change the "8" to "9".


Then in the forumdisplaybit template do the following:

Step 1) In forumdisplaybit find:
<td bgcolor="(secondaltcolor)"><normalfont>$thread[views]</normalfont></td>


Step 2) Replace that with:
<td bgcolor="(firstaltcolor)"><normalfont>$thread[views]</normalfont></td>


Step 3) Insert the following above it:
<td bgcolor="(secondaltcolor)"><normalfont>$numnew</normalfont></td>

just change the ( and ) to { and }


And that's it!

After going through and changing the instructions I saw that it was indeed forumdisplaybit.

anyway, tubedogg-- you rock! thanks man!
