Read/unread forums - new way of displaying

[websiteicons.co]

Hi,

I have this forum that we completely redesigned. The forums are now simple CSS buttons displayed atop the site. However, i want people to see if there are unread topics in a particular forum.

A forum that has unread topics should look like this:

- http://www.sitedeals.nl/channelbar.html (Red text 'Domein namen te koop' and red icon)

The difference is just another class given to the button and icon link, but we can't seem to find a way to do this.

Anyone know how this is done?

Greetings Kevin,

If you're using the forumhome code, then just use something like

<div <if condition="$forum['statusicon']=="new">class="newposts"<else />class="nonewposts"</if>></div>

in the forumbit.
If you're displaying them in a custom manner, you'll need a custom solution.
