Longer (NEW) lifetime

I often log in in the morning before school and quickly scan through the newly made topics to see if interesting stuff has happened. However, when I come back from school all the green (NEW)'s next to the topic’s titles have faded away as a result, even for those which I haven’t clicked before. This is slightly annoying as I can’t exactly remember which topics I have checked and which I haven’t. I would love it if the (NEW)-indicators would exist for a longer amount of time before disappearing. Ideally I’d like them to exist for another 24 hours after logging in.
