"New Posts" Button - How come it always shows 100 threads?

[Tek_Rice]

So i'm using the New Posts button, and 100 threads always come up. Regardless if I have viewed the threads or not.

There are certain threads which I am not interested in viewing, yet it always pops up regardless if there are new posts in it or not.

Is there anyway to have it set up, so I can just view the threads that had new posts in it since the last time i visited?

normally if i've gone through all the threads that i wanted to i will go under "quick links" then to "mark forums read" and it wont show me anything when i hit new posts until someone posts after that.
