Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system, also, this attaches itself to certain phrases in the "welcome" box and will not work if they are not present (or are modified by other code).
FYI, the Forum Marking Choices are located in vBulletin Options ; vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type
This displays the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search). It also displays 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.
There is also the option to display the New Reputation Comments counter as a Welcome Box Notification.
All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.
Version 3.7.004 adds the following ;
A forum exclusion list - requested a number of times, an option is provided to exclude forums from the unread count & display.
A time limit on unread posts count - if a member has not visited for more than x days then a simple unread posts link will be displayed, not an actual count, this stops potential large sql queries if you have a busy forum. The option can be disabled.
To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.

This is a php error, your allowed (php) memory size seems very small, you need to increase it.
The host says that the database error happens when there are more than 50 queries. Anyone trying to access the site instead gets a slash screen that says database error:
This is literally the entire text of the error:
The database has encountered a problem.
Please try the following:
* Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
* Open the www.***mysite.com home page, then try to open another page.
* Click the Back button to try another link.
The www.***mysite.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.
