As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.
I have a bit of an odd problem.
I use 4.1.11 and the mod was working fine but today it isn't updating the last visited message, the unread posts part is working fine. I am using Firefox.
Any ideas what I have messed up??
Well not really, but I did uninstall the mod as it was clashing with the forum sponsors logo position. I re-installed it to allow the logo to be redesigned in the correct location, it has not worked since re-installation now I think about it.
That is simply built from your lastvisit time, and would suggest you have a general forum issue or a browser cookie issue. Did you check if anyone else was affected ?

Another problem here.
It starts after update vB to last version (4.1.11).
Forums that marked NO for option "Index New Posts in Search Engine" in ACP are not showing when click on unread posts.
Before upgrade, everything works OK. So now, I have situation that link from this MOD show " You have 7 unread posts" but when you click on it, it show message that there is not any unread post. But yes, there are 7 unread posts in that forums with abowe selected options in ACP.
After I go to that forum and read posts, then link for this MOD finally shows "You have no unread posts".
Thats a change in the behavior of vB itself. Prior to 4.1.11 it didnt take that setting into account for 'whatsnew' searches. Until such time as I can update this to do the same, that will occur.
