Just don't worry about that. My guess is that you have never had a single person complain about these and you likely never will. So, add these back, the way they were, while keeping everything else. This way everyone will have a choice in how they participate. And no one can argue with having choices. Then also maybe increase the number of threads in each forum a little, say to seven or eight, if you are concerned about that. And it's all good. Or, have the option of displaying these. Or, if you still insist, then rearrange the New Posts listings to have them listed by forum. (And include all of the forums not just most of them as you do now.) Or, implement the option to have the New Posts listings categorized by forum.
