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.

Great little hack and I thank you for it as like it..
Just wondering with the edit for it not showing certain forum numbers, which works for me no worries, but am curious if that also not shows up as UnreadPosts at the top or did it just show for me cause I am admin anyways?
Edit the unreadposts phrase and change the link from search.php?do=getnew to /forumpath/search.php?do=getnew
Hey PAUL - Great hack = Thanx
Question: JPiC is run from http://JPiCForum.infoand doesn't have a forum path.
Anyway idea on how to work with vBAdvanced? Hope this doesn't sound too stupid LOL
This hack would be awesome if we could move it around freely in the WB instead of it being bound or located by a statement. Any chance it could be done as a variable?

Agree 100%. While on the subject, it's redundant to have the unreadposts as a link and new posts link in the navbar.
over the past few days the new post link says there is 10 postsunread even tho they have all been read my members are saying the same thing for about 30 posts it was working fine the past few weeks I havent installed any other hacks since this one please help thanks
