I have this same problem and another one:

For some reason, I can have read all threads (thus there being no new posts), and the "Advanced New Posts" link will tell me I have x-amount new posts in y-amount new threads.

I have the problem in both FF2 and IE7.

1.
Can you add phrase translation to "Menu Items", please.
The same as for:
Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Phrase 3 Phrase 4

2.
Why not to add "Phrase 5" with text like: "There is no new posts".
It will be a replace for "New Posts: 0".

3.
Allow uses to add picture before $cyb_nptc_menu1 via ACP

Thanks

Well if you feel like adding new things..

A Large edit button would be nice for the "Menu Items" section. Otherwise not to much i can think of.
