I believe that the statusicon just isnt enough to let users know there is new content in a thread, so I had an idea. Marquee (scrolling) text. The text is linked to the image that is being displayed, so if a user marks it as read, it dissapears! It works just like the image.

Go to your ACP and go to the style manager under Styles & Templates, and for each style you want this installed for,
add the following code to the template:
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:
Add this under it:
and your finished.
the screen shot shows the new thread/post text which scrolls from right to left in a loop
