What defines if it's been updated? Do you mean the user hasn't read it? Or that it was changed since they were last online? Or since they last read the thread? Or ??? I think you'd have to write some code based on your definition of 'updated' to figure out if it's been updated. (And forum_new and forum_old has to do with whether there is an unread post in any of the 'below' forums, it isn't thread specific.)

Hi Lynne , yes, pretty much that , if a user hasnt read it , new post has been made , just for a Certain topic ( my 5 latest post ) .

i think that would be very helpful..

Thank you !

Lynne is correct, you need to define your variables on who, what, when, etc... the item gets updated. There are standards that must be followed.

As for the preview, it looks good, I do not see anything wrong with it. Can you clarify on how you would like it updated by 'image' for us?

I posted a query which may be useful in another thread about this same topic - Adding 'New' next to threadtitle

Hi Lynne , you posted :

Then in the threadbit, if $new is true, then post the New image. Or set the image path in the plugin also.

(Not tested at all.)

what would be the query for bbuserinfo , to pull out from database
?

thanks

I'm not sure exactly. You'd use the forumdisplay_query hook location to hook into the $threads query and add the field there. But, you'll have to add a JOIN there and I don't like to write those for people.

ah lol , any pre-made one you might have somewhere, besides your my friend , lol

You can look for another mod that does something similar and use their query. I'm sure there is one somewhere.
