want to bold sub-board link if there is a new post

[kellysawin]

Hey! I contacted ProBoards and they gave me a code to make links for the sub-boards show on the main page. Now I'm wondering if YOU could edit it to make the link for a sub-board bold if there is a new post in the sub-board! It might be a long shot, but can't hurt to ask. Thanks!!!

Here's the code they gave me:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

/*
Sub Boards listing in board cells
Created by ProBoards.com
support.proboards.com - for support.
*/

if(location.href.match(/\/(index\.cgi(\?(action=home)?|#\w+)?)?$/i)) {

var exclude = ["archive"];
var boardCell = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
var boards = new Array ();
var subboards = new Array ();
var forumJumpOpts = document.getElementById('forumjump').getElementsByTagName('option');
var boardNumber = 0;
var c = 0;

for (a=0;a<forumJumpOpts.length;a++) {
if (forumJumpOpts.innerHTML.match(/^- (.*)$/) && (forumJumpOpts[a+1] && forumJumpOpts[a+1].innerHTML.match(/--- (.*)$/))) {
forumJumpOpts.value.match(/board\=(.*)$/);
if (exclude.join("-").match(new RegExp("(^|-)"+RegExp.$1+"(-|$)","i")))
continue;
boards.push(RegExp.$1);
subboards[boardNumber] = new Array ();
while (forumJumpOpts[a+1] && forumJumpOpts[a+1].innerHTML.match(/--- (.*)$/)) {
subboards[boardNumber].push(RegExp.$1+'-|-'+forumJumpOpts[a+1].value);
a++;
}
boardNumber++;
}
}

for (b=6;b<boardCell.length;b++) {
var board = 'board='+boards[c]+'$';
if (boardCell.width == "66%" && boardCell.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href.match(board) && subboards[c]) {
for (d=0;d<subboards[c].length;d++)
boardCell.innerHTML += ((d == 0) ? '<br />[ <font size="1">Sub Boards:</font>' : ',') + ' <a href="'+subboards[c][d].split("-|-")[1]+'" class="nav">'+subboards[c][d].split("-|-")[0]+'</a>' + ((d == subboards[c].length-1) ? ' ]' : '');
c++
}

}
}

// -->
</script>

it wouldnt be accurate all the time.

lets say someone made a post in a sub-board, the "last post" cell would show that the sub-board indeed had a new post. the on/off icon would be on as well.
But then lets say that after someone posted in the sub-board, someone posted in the main board. the on/off icon would be on, but the last post cell would show the post being in the main board and not the subboard.

there is no other way to tell if there are new posts from the main page.
