Display Unread Posts and New Reputation Comments · **Released**: 01-19-2008

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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.

I have some notifications that will not go away any solution to this? Love this mod!

Paul M · #**216** 07-13-2008, 09:15 PM

Can you be a little more specific please.

Boosted Panda · #**217** 07-13-2008, 10:24 PM

Ignore the PM but the notifications have been read and they won't go away.

Paul M · #**218** 07-13-2008, 11:15 PM

Sorry, that is unrelated to this mod, I cant help you.

Hi Paul,

I installed the mod and it seems to be working fine...

In your old hack, i was able to see 'New Post' rather than 'Unread Posts'

New Posts will show all new posts (read and unread) <--- this is what i want to see...

Unread Posts only shows the unread post (duhh!)

How can i set your mod to show me 'New Posts'?

Thanks

You cant.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
