As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.
This displays the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search).
There is also an option to put back the members last visit date, which was removed in vb4. There is the choice to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects where the divider in the 'getnew' search display used to be (apparently its no longer displayed).
There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display. New Reputation Comments are shown in the Notifications section.
This modifications settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts[/COLOR].
The unread posts functionality requires that database thread marking is active.
Please be aware that installing this will enable that system (with automatic forum marking).
Forum marking choices are located in vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type
To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.
Is this supposed to display the number of unread posts, or just "You have unread posts"?
Also, any way to remove
Search:
Type: Posts; Excluded Forums: Champion's Tower, Reports and Infractions, Contributor Forum; New Posts
I don't want people seeing the names of these forums because then they will ask questions about it.
Edit: Seems like regular users don't see that part, do they?
OK, apparently it is telling me I have unread posts when there are none. Screenshot attached.

That's what I changed. I tried changing it back to the original but it does not work. I went ahead and PMed you with acp access so you can just go take a look when you have the time.

This is a vbulletin feature, not this mod - however, it should only list exclustions if you have permission to view them in the first place.

You problem was the combination of settings you had - you were set to display all unread posts, but you had editied the mods safety feature (Maximum Cutoff Limit) to a value lower than the forum thread marking limit - so the feature always kicked in - displaying the simple "Unread Posts" message rather than the normal message.
Ive changed it to 10 days, to match the TM limit, so you should be working normally now.
