Ah, I see how this works. It goes by cookie based mark read system. Not bad, but I'd like to see it work with the other read systems too.

It shows how many have been made since last visit: the name of the hack itself shows that it doesn't matter whether it is read or not.

Right, but if you're using the new mark read system and don't view the threads from your last visit, those posts should still count as new.

My mistake,i forgot to add the navbar edit :o

BTW, i removed the separate (get new posts) link as there is already a link under the posts and threads counts,and i also placed it under the pm stats (same position as Gary's 3.0 hack). Just my own preference.

Thanks for the hack though Zach.

Any way to get this to work wherever you are in the forum? I have this beside new posts (just new posts, not threads, so it shows a number and no text).

Just thinking the same thing ogden. Would be useful to have it on more than just the forumhome.

Move the plugin to global_start and remove this from the plug-in code:
Then it will work on every page.

Works a treat. Thanks.

Glad to help. :)

Unless someone else already has done it I will see about updating and adding a number of unread posts to the display :)
