Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system.
This will display the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search).
Versions 1.22+ also display the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp.
There is the option to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the 'getnew' search display. There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display.
All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.
To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.

I'm a long time user of this and some of your others mods, thanks! One of my members recently brought an issue to my attention. If a member adds a user to their ignore list, their new posts still show up under the "unread posts" link. The vbulletin standard "new posts" link found in the navbar does not show these posts. Does it make sense, and is it possible to exclude the posts for consistency in a future version of tis product?

You are correct, this does not currently take into account ignored users. However it is a good point that I will look into for a future release.
If I disable this mod just to check for a problem and enable it again will it clear all the users status on this modification so they all go back to no posts read. The problem I have is when you go back to the forum home page there is a small delay from when the header pops up to the remainder of the screen. I wanted to see what may cause this, and rule this out.
