* This hack only works if you use the new database thread marking system, if you don't, then you probably should be. *

With the new marking system I have found a simple count of the new posts since your last visit to be less informative and useful than it used to be - esp as the GetNew function now excludes threads you have read, but includes threads from before your last visit. Therefore I decided to try a new system that counts the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you, and will show up in a GetNew search.

In fact this hack gives you two options (with a new setting in the vBulletin Options > General Settings). If set to yes, it will only count the unread posts since your last visit, if set to no it will count all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the GetNew display.

To install this hack simply download the xml file to your pc and then import it into vbulletin as a product - then alter the ACP setting to your preferred option (the default is 'no' (i.e. all unread posts).

Note: This hack injects the result direct into the navbar template during page construction, thus avoiding the need for a template edit. This requires that a certain text combination exists in your template. This will be fine for most boards that use a navbar based on the vB default, but you should bear this in mind if you have a totally custom navbar.

v1.01 : First Release.
v1.02 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

I know what download to PC means, but what does import it into vbulletin as a product mean? In other words, how do I do that? Am such a total ditz when it comes to stuff like this!

Do I execute the following as an SQL Query?:

<installcode>
- <![CDATA[ $hackid = 96522;
$install = 'https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid='.$h ackid;
echo '<center><img src="'.$install.'" hight="1" width="1" alt="Installing" /></center>';

]]>
</installcode>

Am not sure if that's what I execute. If so, do I remove the <installcode> and </installcode> or leave that in?

You don't do anything with it, vb runs install code when you first install a product - and please don't post code from hacks without using code tags, otherwise unregistered users can see it.

Now what would be really nice is to have this also placed at the bottom of the threads. Once read, instead of clicking back to the top of the forum or sub-board, clicking straight to the unread posts search list again.

You could do this easily by editing the SHOWTHREAD template:
