Miscellaneous Hacks - Display Unread Posts

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Hmmm, its not converted one of the options correctly on install.

I think I know why, so I'll update the installer slightly.

Also, the options wont work if the mod is disabled - not normally much of an issue, but still not something I considered, and not good, needs to be fixed as well.

Thanks Paul Hope the others with issues sees that an uninstall then a reinstall works till then.

Should be ok now anyway, Ive uploaded an updated version.
