There's probably something preventing it- I don't know, I'm not a web designer and I'm not a programmer!

It's one of those 'by design' things.
It's not technically 'Unread Posts', it's 'New Posts Since Last Visit'.
Your 'current visit' lasts until you either log out, or your session expires, I think that is 15 minutes after last activity. So if you go to another site for 15 minutes, any posts, read or unread, that were in the new posts list last time, will have gone.
If you return before the 15 minutes is up, they'll all still be there.
Personally I prefer
TODAY'S POSTS rather than New Posts, this gives all posts in the last 24 hours regardless of cookies and sessions, but there is no link to that by default.
