yeah, this was planned to be added to 3.5, but as people was not very happy with the result, that was trashed...

i like the idea...

You should rel="nofollow" the link to mark them

I installed this TODAY and then an hour later out pops the AJAX version!

I did the upgrade and everything worked flawlessly, thanks for the great plugin!

great work..

any chances of making it so after you click the icon it doesnt take you to the top of the page?

I do not believe that the anchor around the img tag in the template is needed. Try removing it.

Instructions in readme:
## FIND ##

PHP Code:


			
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

##########

## REPLACE WITH ##

PHP Code:


			
 <if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new' ">
<a href="#">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="$vbphrase[mark_this_forum_read_home]" title="$vbphrase[mark_this_forum_read_home]" onclick="ajaxMarkForumRead($forum[forumid])" id="mfarfh_$forum[forumid]" border="0" title=""/>
</a>
<else />
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />
</if>

###################

New instructions:
## FIND ##

PHP Code:


			
 <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

##########

## REPLACE WITH ##

PHP Code:


			
  <if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new' ">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="$vbphrase[mark_this_forum_read_home]" title="$vbphrase[mark_this_forum_read_home]" onclick="ajaxMarkForumRead($forum[forumid])" id="mfarfh_$forum[forumid]" border="0" title=""/>
<else />
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />
</if>

Its not, I added it so that user knew that the image was also a link via the cursor.

Thanks,

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