Do a 'mark all forums as read' at the bottom of your main page to catch up if you've just switched your read method to database. changing from cookies to database seems to leave some chaos at first. But once you 'catch up' you should be fine

i have been using this option all along

Database (automatic forum marking)

Which is accurate, but like Paul says, looks like the lastvisit cannot be bypassed unless we do a compare with database for 0 unread

Well done Paul. Just installed it and two of my users have already commented.

Oh yeah, thread version updated.

Paul M
I noticed that in this mode you use:

Code:

No <strong><a href="search.php?do=getnew">New Posts</a></strong> since your last visit.

And in your MOD:
Count of unread posts in the welcome box
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123886

you use:

Code:

<strong>No <a href=\"search.php?do=getnew\">Unread Posts</a></strong> since your last visit.

The difference is in symbol \ before "

If it is important than maybe we have to update this MOD?

thnx alot installed

wii · #80 01-02-2007, 08:27 PM

Can this be modified to just show the number of new posts, so I can use it in the header navigation, like this: New Posts (23) ?

wii · #81 01-02-2007, 09:02 PM

Ok, I got it working as I wanted.

I notice that if someone post something in a hidden forum, that count is still visible for everyone ? Even people who can´t see that post !?
