How about the possibility to hide "New Posts" link and leave visible only "New Posts In" menu?

More important... how about forum permissions? if a user can't view a forum why in the New Post In menu is visible?

?

I can't get this to work outside of the main forum directory. When you first go to the site it is vbandvanced so I edited the navbar to include $cyb_anp but all this did was make "No New Post" disappear from the navbar. Ever since I installed this mod it would say no new posts in vbadvanced regardless if there was new posts. Then when you went into the forum the mod worked flawlessly.

Hello there,

I installed this in my forum and my community members really like it. It is a big change to a frequently used link so I'm still getting used to it.

One thing I'd like to remedy is that neither the AJAX updating link, the proxy for the old "new posts" link i.e. "x (In y Threads)", nor the SSM render well in the iPhone. None of the three links seem to be clickable using the iPhone's mobile Safari browser.

I would think that the "x (In y Threads)" link should work, but for some reason it doesn't. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there any way to modify the mod in order to make it work better on iPhones?
