Seems to be working quite well, something I seem to be using all the time already as it's very useful.

Don't know why this wasn't suggested before, it's an extremely useful way to find the newest unread post.

The added icons in different colours also help to see quickly which topics contain unread posts, and which posts have not been read.

It's also been updated so that when you hover the mouse over the arrow which links to the first unread in a topic it will display the number of unread posts that topic contains.

Yes, I love it. This alone is a good reason to update, but I still need to hold off a bit.... still want to get the location part changed so they can type in a city and state or province/country, etc That's about the only other thing we need.
Oh, and make it a REQUIRED field!

This is qute simple to do yourself. In register.asp at around line 1679 you will find:-

<select name="location" id="location" tabindex="11">
        <option value="" disabled<% If strLocation = "" Or strLocation = null Then Response.Write(" selected") %>> -- <% Response.Write(strTxtSelectCountry) %> -- </option>
        <% If strLocation <> "" Then Response.Write("<option value=""" & strLocation & """ selected>" & strLocation & "</option>") %>
        <!-- Include countires include file -->
        <!-- #include file="includes/select_countries_list.asp" -->
     </select>


Replace it with:-

<input type="text" name="location" id="location" size="30" maxlength="27" value="<% = strLocation %>" tabindex="11" />

And that will then also populate it with the current location if they have one. For example, I go to "modify" my profile, say, change some other little thing, avatar, whatever - it will "stick", won't lose the location already in the database?
That's the only reason I didn't change it from a list to a text area because I wasn't sure how to automatically populate it with the "last known location". I was afraid it would be blank and if they saved other changes, they'd lose the location they already put in upon registration.
Gee, well, there goes any excuses!  LOL

It will auto-populate any existing data.
