[tbellik]

Hi.

When I click new posts and read the posts, then I again click new posts , the posts is disapperar which is I read.
I dont want to disapper it, and always want to see that, it is like activity.

What version of vB are you using?

Those threads disappear after opening them because they no longer remain "new". New post search is only meant for those posts that are unread.

If you want to see those threads again in the search result, use Today's Posts search instead of New Posts search.

Older versions of vB 4 (before 4.2.5) have the option to either use a cookie based thread marking system or a database based system. Those using the cookie based system will still see the read threads, only not in bold, in the "New Posts" query.

I much prefer the database marking system, and have been using it since vB 4.2.1. It does cause some confusion to people who have been using the cookie based system, and then upgrade to vB 4.2.5 and find the "New Posts" query suddenly behaves differently.

I think the best advantage to the database system is that it is device/browser independent. Once you've read a thread, the system kows you've read it even if you change to another browser or device.

I just want to see topic there bold or not bold not important.

I upgraded my forum from 4.2.3 to 4.2.5 and started this problem.

Could you please define me how can I make this settings?

One big issue I have with vB sites who use the older cookie based thread marking is that threads disappear from the list even when I didn't read them. With the databse based marking this doesn't happen until after the number of days specified, and I use 10 days as the limit on the sites I admin.

Once you've read a thread, it is no longer new and shouldn't be included in the "New Posts" query. Doesn't that make perfect sense to you? When I click "New Posts" I only want to see threads with posts in them that I haven't read yet.

You can always use the "Today's Posts" query, or create a query for "This Week's Posts" and add it to your navbar if you wish to see all threads with recent posts in them.

There is no way I know of to revert back to the cookie-based thread read marking method once you upgrade to vB 4.2.5. I think once you get used to it, you will begin to understand how much better it is, and why the older method was discontinued.

Thanks for your answers. Is it posible to show last week, this week and last month messages ?

If yes, please which code just say me

For "This Week's Posts" I added a link under quick links in the Navigation Manager of the form:

search.php?{session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&days=7&contenttype=vBForum_Post

Hey Mark glad you mentioned this. I upgraded to 4.2.5 a few months ago...and I miss how the old system handled "New Posts". Usually they would go from bolded to non-bolded after reading them...and using the back button on the browser to get back to the new posts list.

Now when this is done with 4.2.5 (read a thread with new posts from the new posts list...then using the back button)...the post that was just read stays bolded even though its been read. Only if the refresh button is pressed does the new post that was just read go from bolded to non-bolded.

AND...the new post that was just read stays in the new post list (even after pressing the browser refresh button)...except it does go from bolded to non-bolded.
