New Posts & Threads Since Last visit · **Released**: 06-09-2005

Um. I think this one is fairly self explaintiory by now.

It gets a count of the newest posts and threads since their last visit.

Optionally you should add indexes on your post and thread tables for the dateline columns
[sql]
ALTER TABLE `post` ADD INDEX ( `dateline` );
ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD INDEX ( `dateline` );
[/sql]

A couple of our members are reporting a small glitch with the new post count.

Sometimes when they go to the main index page it says "there has been 1 new posts and 0 new threads since your last visit.",

but when they click on the "New Posts" link, it says:

"Sorry, there are no new threads to view. You may search for threads updated during the previous 24 hours, here."

Any ideas ???

They already read it

the mark read system can confuse members.

err no if it was that simple i would have told them that.

It happens when they have already marked the previous posts as read.So in this case,no they haven't already read it.

could someone please explain this

I have noticed when I go to my board it says there are 5 new post since last visit etc. No problem when I go to these threads and read them, and go back to the main page I would expect them to say there are 0 new message (posts) not emails that are unread. I have to phyiscally mark the forums read
is there a way to mark a thread read once I read it automatically?

I want it to say there are X unread posts now.

Is it possible to also set this for subscribed threads so it dosent say there are 4000 posts, but there are 12 posts in your subscribed threads!?

You can't, without re-writing it.
