Mod that includes "go to first unread post?"
 

I've used a module from vBadvanced for more than a decade that, in a sidebar next to my forum pages, lists updated threads that includes a link for member to click on that will take them to the first unread post in the thread. Much like what is available when looking at the "New Posts" page in the forum. This little icon ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2017/05/18.png ) will take a member to the first unread post in the thread.

With the recent update of vB to 4.2.5, my vBadvanced module no longer works. Apparently vBulletin decided to remove the option to get that information from cookies and now that info is retrieved from the database. I guess the vBadvanced module used cookie info. Anyway, it no longer works.

Does anyone know of a mod that will list recent posts as a sidebar AND include a link to the first unread post in the threads?

vBulletin includes a default "Forum Block" that does that, I do believe.

Follow:

AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Blocks Manager

You should see a forum block labeled "Forum Threads" which you can configure to your liking.

If you want a product that shows the most recent posts in the recently updated threads, with BBCodes parsed, you might want to consdier this product:

Forum Sideblock - Recent Posts (with BBCodes parsed) [v1.3]

MarkFL,

You are my hero! Yes, the "Forum Threads" block does exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for the reply!! :)
