Okay, I run/own the site http://www.forum-forum.com

We will be looking at http://www.forum-forum.com/forum/ <-the forums.

What I am looking for is, youll notice in my "Forum Software Discussion Areas" that I made a custom table that links to these forums. The problem is, there is no way of seeing if there are any new threads in these forums...what I want is some directions, and code snippets needed to have these buttons "light up" or, basically display an "on" version of their current states when there are new threads in their respective forums.

Normally I would think you would just use the same code for the "on button" for the normal forums listed below, but these are actual forums...whereas the software discussion areas are in..."act as forum: no" mode. Therefor im not sure if the same code applies...anyways, tell me what you think, any help is greatly appreciated, i think if members could see that there were new posts in these areas they would be much more inclined to use them...so this is pretty important.

Thanks in advance,
