UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? How do I highlight new threads and new posts?

Hello, we have just upgraded our forums to 7.02 and I have trouble finding how to highlight new threads and new posts.
In the old version, the whole horizontal line would be highlighted of the color I wanted and also the single post. I am noticing here only a tiny black "new" on the new post. I looked all over in the styles page

Thanks
Carla

this feature is not available right now.

that is too bad. The users of our forums really are demanding it and it's going to be hard to tell them that this feature is not there anymore. Any idea if you will add it again?

If I understand right, the entire cell changes colours when hovered over? If so then I don't think that was ever an actual feature, but a modification...

It shouldn't be that hard to hack in, I'll check on it later on (eating breakfast now)

He is missing the old .newlighttable and .newdarktable css settings from Threads 6.x
This is a problem on my community too.

It's not the hovering. I will try to explain better.. Basically when you go to the forums and there are new posts you see the whole horizontal line of the forums with the new posts( the title of the forum, the thread number, the post number and the last post description are of another color of your choice). When you enter that forum, also the whole horizontal line of the new topic is of that color, and if you then click on that topic, and you go to the single posts, the new posts are all of that color.......

hope this makes sense.?!

I'm so very confused lol

Let made it clear:

In threads 6.5 exists the css class lighttable, newlighttable and darktable, newdarktable.
In Threads7 we have only alt-1 and alt-2

This class was used for new unread postings in the posting list. You can setup the table cell weith it to give the whole line in postlist wich contains new postings an other look. This made it easy to see new postings. Now in Threads7 we have only the icon in front of it.

ahhh I seee i see, I understand now lol... I remember seeing this on an old thread board, and it was one hell of a way to notice new posts

Is there a way to change color of that icon when it's highlighted? Right now it becomes yellow. (obviously it's not working in our site, which is all orange and yellow).

just change the icon to what you like. Its up to you to find a propper one.

I cannot find where these icons are stored in control panel. :

You need to swap them out by FTP. You need to swap out both the light and dark icons. Here's an example with the new post icon for a dark style using the default_dark icons:

This is something I hope 7.1 might fix? Its really a great feature and I hope it isn;t gone for good.
