On the main forum display page, there are icons to the left of each forum name. When there is new activity, those icons change...they "light up". On this site, the icons are little squares with check marks - there's a dull gray background when there's no activity, the background brightens up considerably when there are new messages.
The lightbulb terminology comes from the code... the routine to display that icon is called "getforumlightbulb".
Re the final version - writing the routine was the easy part. Bringing the code up to vBulletin standards will be the hard part! :cross-eyed:
I also have a better idea on displaying the quickscan results, but I don't know how to accomplish it programmatically, so that will have to wait until I learn a little more about the vB code.
In the meantime, I'll continue to clean up the current code in order to bring it to v1.0 so I can give it a full release.
