Connect "new" posts with username instead of browser. Shouldn't be too much work. I don't know exactly how this forum does it now, (though I assume it is time based, seeing how the only cookies I could find related to the DN were time stamps, forum options and username/password.) but implementing this shouldn't cost much more than a single new column in the database.

When I'm at home, it works fine, but when I go to school and check the board there, then posts all the way since last time I checked are marked as new, and then when I get home, the ones I saw at school are still marked as new at home.

I've tried convincing you to store exactly what posts have been viewed and not so that even if you don't view all posts, they'll still be marked as "new" the next time you come, but that was apparently not interesting, so now I'm downgrading my wish to just allowing a centralized way of storing forum access.
