Having 'New' show up when new posts..

[Sawa Dee SohL]

Basically, I'd like to have 'New posts' show up on the tab - once a new topic is created, or post is in that forum (basically so my members know, someone has posted there since they have)

I've attached what my Tabs look like. - Any suggestions would help a lot.

Thanks

Not sure if this would be any good to you but heres a way of turning new unread posts red in the forum home...

In your threadbit find

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> style="font-weight:bold" </if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a>

replace that with


<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"><if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><span style="color: red; font-weight:bold;"></if>$thread[threadtitle]<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"></span></if></a>



Remember to backup your threadbit before changing anything

Not sure about adding the word "New" tho', perhaps a coder might like to shed some light here :erm:

Awesome ty! - That'll help alot on the sub-forums, that are inside each tab.

Any coders got any ideas / suggestions?
