Hmmm.... this is going to need a MySQL database. I can't possibly just write out the code for that, I suggest learning about PHP and MySQL yourself... It would be possible without a database though if you put the number of posts that thread had beforehand into the image URL, but then the image would need editing every time you wanted to reset it to show the new post count.
The best bet is to create a forum update notifier in Panther. I believe we shared a simple one that pops when a new post is created in a watched thread that you could adapt with the project in the sample projects folder.

Bump. Is there a link?
This could be added to the API.
This signature is TDD's fault... yes, I had to.
