I have a modified navbar and use $cyb_nptc_menu1 and $cyb_nptc_menu2 lines of code. After upgrading to the 2.0 they don't work and just disappeared.
What kind of code should I use instead of?

[Fenriz]

..and where are the links to all the phrases?

[Valter]

You don't need to do any template changes. It should work with no problems (unless you miss navbar template on your board ). To find/customize phrases use Search function in PhraseManager.

Cybernetec, it works only with unmodified navbar template for me. I have heavy modified navbar and need to define where the phrase "New Posts" will be.. What I need to insert then?

Heh. And what phrases do I need to search (exept New Posts)?

Replace table cell (td) which contains "New Posts" with "$cyb_anp".

New Posts: {1}
New Posts: {1} (In One Thread)
New Posts: {1} (In {2} Threads)
New Posts In
Show All New Posts
All New Posts
Show New Posts From
Show Today's Posts

Cybernetec, thank you! Now everything is ok. Your hack rocks!

does it show ALL new posts to ALL members since last visit...including the ones posted in a private forum. I don't need "non private forum members" wondering where all the other posts are that they can't read.

It will not show anything which is not shown without this hack installed.
