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 ^_^
