Thanks. In tracking that by search back to the old topic I agree with the admin who said it is too complex for a lot of users. And if you don't do them all in one session they are marked read and not displayed again.

And the suggestion at the bottom is not in the templates for 3.5.4.

I got around it on phpBB by combining two mods that allowed me to select the most current x posts to display in a News and in a Topic listings.

Should be somewhere to change the get function look back time.

Thanks again.

I did some more digging. Time will tell if this is an okay partial solution.

In search.php find

  $_REQUEST['do'] = 'getdaily';
  if ($vbulletin->GPC['days'] < 1)
  {
   $vbulletin->GPC['days'] = 1;
  }
  $datecut = TIMENOW - (24 * 60 * 60 * $vbulletin->GPC['days']);

Change the 1 in = 1; to however many days you wish displayed.

I would still prefer a function for show the last X new posts. Get rid of the time element altogether.

But a beginning.

Grrr. What to blazes!

That was not a double post. Should not have been merged.

Will it merge this as well?
