I'm trying to create a custom forum-bar where I want to put different information. The only thing I'm missing now is a link that counts the number of new posts since last visit (node and comments in the forum). I've tried a numerous times to write a snippet that does it, but can't get anything to work.
Has anyone an idea on how to write this snippet? Output should be something like "New posts since last visit (39)"...

I would highly appreciate it if anyone would help me wrap this up! :)

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to make a view and then you can count the view results as well as link it to the view. Alternately, you can look at the SQL in advanced_forum_unread_comments_in_forum() and adapt that to show all forums, plus add in the count of new nodes.

I don't have time to offer more than a pointer on this and no one else has answered in the month this has been open, so this is as fixed as it's going to get.
