UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Version 7/8 Support How to display 'unread' topics differently than 'read' topics?

Hi,

I recently upgraded to UBB 7, and I'm working on tweaking it to suit my needs. It's working great. I'm wondering if there's a way (or what the best way is) to display threads as 'unread' when viewing the post list. For example display them as bold, or display a different icon beside them.

I think I'm missing something - I notice in the first column there is a white "no new posts" folder (nonewfolder.gif). I would expect threads with unread or new posts to have a different image (maybe a yellow folder?) but it's always nonewfolder.gif. Even on this board I notice that.

So in other words, I would like either a yellow folder, or bold text -like when you select posts for inline moderation- to appear on posts that the user hasn't visited yet. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Andrew

yes, the style editor allows you to css it to your heart's content

Thanks. I was confusing "new since last visit", with "read/unread". I see now that it works fine, and by default "new since last visit" show in bold and with yellow icons.

yes, and you can do all kinds of things like change the BG to a slightly different color to highlight the entire row.

basically, your imagination and knowledge of css is all
