Display threads on New Posts only if they have already replies
 

Hello,

this small mod allows you to exclude threads without replies from the new posts functions.

You can specify in the Admin CP a list of Forums and the number of replies a thread in this forums needs to get displayed in New Posts.

Why would anyone want to do this?

My thoughts exactly. ;)

Surely this would defeat the purpose of posting a new thread?

Most people use the new posts feature as their sole method of navigation - especially on large boards - this would mean new threads would be practically invisible?

I'm sure you have good reason.... could you explain what you yourself are using it for so others understand a little more about any benefit this could have in a certain situation.

Yes sure i can explain :)

many of my members are meeting in real live regulary. They like to shoot alot of photos on those conventions. The pictures can be uploaded into the CMS I use. Each photo will open automatically a new thread in my forum to make it possible to discuss the photo. You can imagine, how the New Posting list will look like if someone uploads a bunch of phontos at once.

My members look after such a convention by their own for new photos - no one need to remind them that there are new photos in the galary. But of course they like to know if there is a new comment on a photo.

Of course I could use the CMS for the comments on photos, but I do not want to leave my general rule, that for every entry in the CMS (I have more there then only photos) a discussion thread is opened.

I only have this mod enabled in a single sub forum of course, not on the whole forum.

Best regards
