vb.org Archive - View Single Post - New Post Icon on non-vB Page

tgillespie · #1 05-17-2004, 07:35 PM

I am using a portal (vBindex) for my website to show news. My website goes through a lot of news every day. Around 5 to 7 new threads per day. The average visitor to my website sometimes gets mixed up which is new news and which is old news. Basically, it is hard for the them to tell what is a new thread and what is a thread they have already read.

I was wondering if anyone knew or could code a mod that would display an icon if the thread was new. Along the same lines as

. This way if a visitor comes to the site, and a new news article/thread has been posted, the icon will appear. If they have already seen it or been to the site when it was posted before, it will not show. I do not want the icon to be displayed for new posts, JUST new threads.

Any help would be appriciated. My website is www.modtheater.com. I am running vBIndex 3 RC 5 and vBulletin 3.0.1.
