I never said anything about just displaying the number of new posts. My posts in Tzesi's thread explain exactly the type of feature maors wants; something that displays the new posts without needing to refresh.
Also, I know solidus has left now, but there's one point he mentioned that has been pestering me since that thread, he mentioned that 'a feature like this would query the database a lot more and cause a lot of server load.' When a person refreshes the page, there would be far more database queries (load user info, load user awards, get user reputation, ...,) than a feature that is only asking for one query; new posts.
I can understand that all of that may mean nothing to you, I'm just clearing things up from the past.
Feel free to link me to any thread on Mybb.com and I'll be more than happy to continue the debate over there.
Offtopic: might need to reinstall the go mobile plugin, it needs to readd some stuff to headerinclude. Pages were displaying without any styling.
