The new post icon looks  like:-

Open%20Forum%20%5bnew%20posts%5d Open Forum [new posts]

If you hover the mouse over any of these icons next to forums or topics it will show you how many unread posts there are in that forum or topic.

This is more to do with how the language file is setout as the present language file has:-

Topic [No New Posts]

I would need to split the two up so that it can be dynamically set in the file so that it displays [x new posts] or [no new posts]

Hopefully most of the bugs have been ironed out, I've also had to switch from using session variables to use application variables linked to the forums own session system to store the values, otherwise if you close the browser and then come back a few minutes later all the posts will show again as not being read. By using application variables piggy backing on the forum own session system your browser will remember the settings for upt 20 minutes after you last activity, so you can close your browser and come back within 20 minutes and all your session data is remembered.

Just a minor nit...
If a topic has no new posts, the hover shows "Topic [No New Posts]"
A sticky Topic just shows "Sticky Topic" - the "No New Posts" part is missing.

The post count is displayed the same way for both thread types if there are posts.

To calculate unread posts, like before, the date of your last visit is used.

This is updated every 3 minutes with a new date (3 minutes saves on costly database writes).

You may find that you need to leave the board for slightly longer than just closing and opening your browser.

I guess that there are still some bugs or you are just changing code on the fly and I keep bumping into that exact moment(s)? :D

It's been done on the main topic page, I will also update the active topics, search page, etc. to display the same when you hover the mouse over the icon.]]> Sat, 21 Oct 2006 14:46:47 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/feedback-new-post-icon-testing_topic21674_post115928.html#115928 <![CDATA[Feedback: New Post Icon Testing : Not at the moment but it can easily...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/feedback-new-post-icon-testing_topic21674_post115927.html#115927 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Not at the moment but it can easily be added, so I will look into it.]]> Sat, 21 Oct 2006 14:38:11 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/feedback-new-post-icon-testing_topic21674_post115927.html#115927 <![CDATA[Feedback: New Post Icon Testing : I actually meant on hovering over...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/feedback-new-post-icon-testing_topic21674_post115926.html#115926 Author: Mikey

I actually meant on hovering over the current icon for stickies or announcements, will it show the unread posts within them?]]> Sat, 21 Oct 2006 14:33:11 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/feedback-new-post-icon-testing_topic21674_post115926.html#115926 <![CDATA[Feedback: New Post Icon Testing : I don&#039;t think there are icons...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/feedback-new-post-icon-testing_topic21674_post115925.html#115925 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

I don't think there are icons in the present system to show new posts in those types of topics, but it will show on the main forum.

Version 9 will be having lots of new icons so I can look at new icons for that type of thing then.
