This file has a hidden but empty folder in it, called CVS. (or was it just me?)
It works fine, though. INSTALLED

Just delete the CVS folder.

Thanks for the tip. Ironically I found that by accident today when trying to find your other thread

Thanks for the great mods!

You're 100% right there. 10 queries aren't necessarily worse than 1 single huge query.

Installed and working great.

By the way, how does it keep track of new posts? I'm assuming it isn't doing a large query every time but you made a table that remembers from each visit?

thanks

No, this does not add any tables (but it does add an index).

It runs a simple select on the post & reputation tables.

I understand that this displays according to last visit, but is there a way to prevent it to display xx New Posts since last visit when all new posts have been read?

Paul M · #71 12-08-2006, 02:26 AM

No, this does not have any facilities related to unread posts.

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