Site Suggestion - "New Posts" tab instead of or in addition to "What's New"?

Is it possible to either replace the "What's New" with "New Posts", or add it? I know it's only one extra click, but personally I don;t see the point of "What's New" if it displays topics that have no new posts since I last visited?

This would also make it easier to ignore forums such as Politics Paddock.
 
Once I scroll down, this ribbon is all that's visible, so I'd need to click on the little arrow beside What's New (and not miss), then "New Posts". Or go back to the top of the page and then use the New Posts link. I'll try @Lightcycle 's recommendation to create abookmark, but that only works if you keep the bookmarks bar open.

Also, the "New Posts" link moves around depending on which page you're on. On the Home and Forums pages, it's the first. On the What's New page, it's the second.

I have to scroll to top to see this:

I have mouse set to unlock wheel so a quick flip up gets me there.

You can display a bookmarks bar permanently underneath the address bar like this:

Those are still workarounds which I could do, but they don't work for me in all cases. A better solution would be to add or change the banner link if possible.

The Home key will also take you to the top, and is only one key press, but both of those options are restricted to navigation within a text window if you're in one.

For example, right now if I want to save this as a draft, I usually just click on What's New as a single button press vs. the diskette icon and then save draft. Because I'm all about being lazy efficient. Xenforo automatically saves my draft before loading the new one. If I had clicked on a bookmark, the Xenforo doesn't know I'm leaving and the draft may or may not be saved depending on how much time has elapsed between my last entry and the auto-save.
 
Bookmarking doesn't work - the link appears to include a timestamp based on the time you clicked the link so as it ages it starts showing more and more older posts, even if they've already been read.
