You can just use the "Show recent post since your last visit" under your messages in the top right corner. Or use this link:

It might not be what you asked, but it gives you the perfect solution for it. Showing more than 5 ´new topics´ on the frontpage will only make it less organised.

I agree with darkshooters post completely.

Would be a good addition, I didn't even know there was an unread posts button on the forums untill Dark posted that

I can't believe it but I agree with Kari. We did only 5 recent posts to keep things less cluttered. Setting it to 10 pushes the shoutbox down further and also won't solve your problem of seeing your unread posts. Just click the link below your private messages to see ALL posts. Seems like there's quite a few people on here that don't bother to do that and they end up posting threads with things that have already been talked about.

As far as I'm concerned it would be good to have the "Recent Posts" set to 10.

Is it possible to just change it for this site:
http://aao25.com/forum/
(And keep the main site as it is [5])?

http://aao25.com/forum/ doesn't have a recent posts module.

Ah, that's what you're talking about. I never look at that. I'd lay money down saying that it reads from the SSI.php which sets the limit for Recent Posts. That's the same thing the homepage does. Change it and both get changed.

It's still by far better to just look at the Unread page:

I have thought of an idea!

I can add a 'more' button next to the "5 Latest Posts" text on the right side of the homepage. That would then show a page with maybe 30 latest posts.

Thoughts on the number/idea?

I kind of halfway implemented it now. Tried to display 30 but it still returned 25. That might be the maximum. I'll do more work on it after lunch.
