Unread Posts and Reputation Comments (welcome box) · **Released**: 08-13-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system.

This will display the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search).

Versions 1.22+ also display the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp.

There is the option to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the 'getnew' search display. There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.

To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.

Any way for members to choose which forums are included so that if they arent active in certain areas of the forums, they won't see new posts in those areas?

Paul M · #**233** 06-06-2007, 08:20 PM

Nope, they isn't any exclusion feature in this.

How about in vB itself? Not just in this mod?

Paul M · #**235** 06-07-2007, 09:02 AM

If there were a default vb feature to do that I would have said so.

Hi.

It does not work for me.

Where do I need to go to check whether I have the database thread marking system on?

Thanks.
Fabian

ACP > vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type

Thanks Paul.

I have a nissue where it no longer is updating "smoothly"

ther is actualyl a two fold issue

1) I will go to my forum and this mod will say no unread posts but the individual forums will show as having posts/replies

2) Once reading the unread posts then going back to the forum home page, it will still show the unread count.

I am not sure if I need to go bac kin and see if I have a time out or setting now working as it should or if thie mod is having issues but I wanted to post this

Are you sure you haven't changed back to the cookie based thread marking system.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
