Ok, New Posts for user-specific forums... here's a workaround. I created a custom search that will show the latest posts on all forums that you are subscribed to.

Steps:

1. Subscribe to each forum you want to follow. To do this, visit a forum that you intend to follow and then click on 'Forum Tools' and hit Subscribe to This Forum'.
   
   
2. Select "No email notification" as the Notification Type
   
   
3. Do this to all forums you want to subscribe to or follow. Note that you only have to do this once.
   
4. Now bookmark the following (note that you need to book mark this exact URL and not the resulting page once you click it):
   http://talk.maemo.org/newsub.php
   I will be adding this link maybe under the Quick Links at the right once it has been tested well enough.
   
5. Results should show up, with forums you have subscribed to listed at the top:
   
   
6. To unsubscribe from a specific forum (you can click on any forum listed from step 5) and perform step 1, but choose 'Unsubscribe from this Forum'
