I didn't know where to post this, I am sorry if it is in the wrong area.

I am trying to help out with a board and I am looking for certain addons to use.

Styles, I think I have found them on here...

But I am looking for new functions, sorry I am not sure what to call them. I am looking for a tab that users can click on to see "New Posts" only. It would be so nice to have this available. And a "Thanks" tab that would be on every post and members can thank that member for posting.

Is there anywhere on here I could find those, I have tried doing a search but with not knowing the exact words I am needing to use in search I haven't had much luck.

Thank you so very much for your time.

Technically a add on is called a modification or (MOD).
They are not supported here by the vendor.
You may try UBBDEV they are a group of people mostly visitors here that provide mods.

But to answer your question for new posts you have a few options in the stock software already.

Active topics: Menu at the top of the screen.

Watched topics: Accessible from the My Stuff menu at the top of the screen.

Post islands: Here it is called recent topics that can be configured from the control panel.

Mark S has posted a similar feature request in the Feedback & Suggestions forum. I'd reply to this post and bump it back up the tree if it's something you're interested in. wink

I believe a "points" mod was created early v7 (that or late classic v6) that the premace could be improved upon for a "thank this post" feature (or user kharma featuree)

I think it's best to keep it (feedback) positive or nothing at all.

I think the star rating is better. only get one shot at a rating and thats it. The Carma system sucks.
