Attract Users to a Forum

Attract users to a forum easier using bold message.
When there are no new messages the text goes away.

Demo: here
Look at "Announcements".

Open: forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

Below Add

HTML Code:

<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == "new" AND $forum[forumid] == X">

<div class="bigusername">New Post</div></if>

X = forumid

Doesn't the indicator icon do the same thing?

Yeah but this does it better, I think.

It's a good idea for announcement forums since everyone knows that nobody ever checks those. :) At least people will turn their heads now. Nice work!

i think the hack is good, though i wouldn't be tempted to register if i had that floating around everywhere. i'd have to change the text to something more inviting

good work though my friend ^_^

That's another hack.

How hard is it to see the big bold words of "New Post" under "Announcement"?

Thank's. Hope this get's my member's to start reading the Board announcement's more instead of asking about something that was just posted the same day.
