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.

Now it works. But is it possible to have it like all new post will show always
Now it is that if you have read one thread it dissapear from the text.

Hope you understand what i mean

What is the diffrent to use the diffrent database
( ) Inaktivitet/Cookie-based
( ) Database (iNo automatisk forum-mark)
(X) Database (automatisk forum-mark)

There are two options (using a setting in the vBulletin Options). If set to 'yes', it will only count the unread posts since your last visit, if set to 'no' it will count all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the getnew search display.

Where do i set this to No.
If i put it to NO in the Display Unread Posts it dosent show at all

Witch are.

I dont realy understand your text, can you explain it better.

[Paul M]

There is a set of settings for this mod (in it's own section) in your vbulletin options, that is where you will find the option you are looking for.

I see you address the ignored users, but what about ignored threads? I still see unread posts counts from ignored threads. I use database marking.

Thanks

[Paul M]

There is no such thing as ignored threads in default vbulletin.

[pcg]

Right. You are correct. I have the ignore threads mod. Any chances it works with this? I understand they are two different mods.

[Paul M]

Nope, it's unlikely to work with such a modification.

BTW, there is no code that takes account of ignored users either.

Hi,
I installed it, and, as I'm using a modified style I added $unread in my navbar and desactivated the automatic installation
But nothing happens, I don't see anything.

I'm using 3.6.8

[Paul M]

Do you have database threadmarking turned on ............
