Miscellaneous Hacks - Unread Posts and Reputation Comments (welcome box)

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.

There is no such functionality in this, nor am I considering it atm.

Perhaps when vb3.7 comes out (requiring a new release) I may think about it then.

Ok, INSTALLED....

However, it doesn't show up?

I have my thread marking set as:

Inactivity/Cookie Based
Database (no automatic forum marking) <------
Database (automatic forum marking)

The mod is turned ON....

Running v3.6.7pl1

Any ideas?

Thanks

Regards,
Badger

Edit: Never mind ... For some reason, I had to go into the Manage Products area after the IMPORT and install and ENABLE the mod. I never had to do that before. It's now on-line and functioning fine. Thanks Paul... very nice ... as usual ... :up:

Thanks.

Would you mind, then, if I looked into modifying your code?

You're right, for some reason the default is set to disabled, not sure why that is, I'll update the zip file shortly. Thanks.

You are free to edit it on your forum as much as you like, you just cannot release any modified version.
