vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Adding new-post number to forum-home...

Hi I have what I think is a simple question.

I am linking to my subforums in forum descriptions. I find this is a nice easy way to show subforums in the main page. However a little "ticker" with the number of new posts in that subforum would be EVEN COOLER.

Here is how I would like it to look:

Seems simple enough. Does anyone know what the code would be to reference the number of new posts in this particular subforum on forumhome? Can this be done through the forum description as I have it now, or do I need to modify the forumhome template (which seems alot more difficult, considering the descriptions are only a loop, and some dont have subforums)!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
