Display Unread Posts and New Reputation Comments · **Released**: 11-27-2008

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system, also, this attaches itself to certain phrases in the "welcome" box and will not work if they are not present (or are modified by other code).

FYI, the Forum Marking Choices are located in vBulletin Options ;
vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type

The Read Marking options were removed from vB 3.8.11, it defaults to database marking.

** For vBulletin 3.8.11 you will need to use the Unread-posts-3811.zip **

This displays the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search). It also displays the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp.

There is the option to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the 'getnew' search display. There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display.

There is also the option to display the New Reputation Comments counter as a Welcome Box Notification.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.

Version 3.8.001 adds support for forums excluded if you have the "Get New/Get Daily Opt Out Modification" installed (by Andreas).
Version 3.8.004 adds support for forums excluded if you have the "Selective Forum Filter Modification" installed (by Psionic Vision).

To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.

Downloaded and installed the mod. Works perfectly on my forum.

Thank you Paul.

In searching phrases put "UnRead Posts" but must put "UnRead" thanks Paul M for this mod.

Hi Paul M

Having a little trouble. I have installed this and love it. However this Unread link does not work when the user visits the Gallery. I am running PhotoPhost Gallery in another directory outside of /forum/ so when a user clicks 'unread posts' while in the gallery it tried to load

/gallery/search.php?do=getnew

how can i edit the mod so it always uses /forum/search.php?do=getnew
?
Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
