New Reputation Comments (and Posts) Since Your Last Visit.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

The 3.5 port of this simple hack;

This displays the number of new posts since your last visit & the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp - both are displayed in the welcome panel - either can be turned off by de-activating the relevant plugin.


History:

v3.01 : Initial vb3.5 release.
v3.02 : Updated install code.
v3.03 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

You have mail Paul good luck...you'll have better (and faster) luck than I did i'm sure

The following hack was the cause ;

Multiple IPs Detection

This only has one plugin, linked to the global_start hook - that plugin is faulty, causing other hacks using that hook to fail. I have disabled it.

Thanks Paul I appreciate it

Paul, has anyone reported the post count not decreasing after viewing? Cause its started to happen to me today...It increases for every post (my own included) and doesn't go down for anything except marking all forums read....could another plugin conflict be doing this? or is it an all new headache for me?

Thanks Paul for all your help

[Paul M]

It's never decreased, it's not designed to - it's the number of new posts since your last visit, not the number of unread posts.

I realize that but when I view a post...and return to the forumhome the count doesn't decrese, yet I click the link again and I get the "no new posts" with the link to posts made within last 24 hrs.

The count is the number of new posts since your last visit, and links the the vbulletin GetNew search. In vb3.5, if you have database thread marking enabled, then GetNew only shows unread posts, not all new posts. It's all working correctly (tho not maybe as you would expect). This change in vb is one of the reasons I wrote this.

Hi Paul! First off, thank you so much for this! It's awesome :banana:

I have a question though, I need to turn off the new posts part and only want to use the rep comments. In the instructions, it says that they are seperate in the plug-in area, but on mine they are together. How would I go about getting rid of the new posts?

Thanks for your help!

[FLMom]

Oops! Never mind Paul, I figured it out, I was looking in the wrong area :surprised:

It looks great! Thanks again for all of your hard work :banana:

[Paul M]

I think you are looking at the product list, not the plugin list.

Edit: Oh, which I see you just figured out.

Feel free to click on install(ed)
