This if from my Active_topics.asp file for 8.01

 

Display the subject of the topic
  Response.Write("<a href=""forum_posts.asp?TID=" & lngTopicID & strQsSID2)
  If intPriority = 3 Then Response.Write("&FID=" & intForumID & "&PR=3" & strQsSID2)
  Response.Write(""" title=""" & strFirstPostMsg & """>" & strSubject & "</a>")

'********************** First Unread post Mod *********************

  If blnNewPost = True Then
                       %>
                       <a href="forum_posts.asp?TID=<% = lngTopicID %>&PN=<% = intRecordPositionPageNum %><% If intPriority = 3 Then Response.Write("&FID=" & intForumID & "&PR=3") %>&TPN=<% = intTopicPagesLoopCounter %>&get=#<% = lngFirstUnreadMessageID %>" target="_self"><img src="<% = strImagePath %>right_arrow.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0" alt="<% = strTxtFirstUnreadPost %>"></a>
   <%
  End If       
'******************************************************************

  
   'Calculate the number of pages for the topic and display links if there are more than 1 page
   intNumberOfTopicPages = ((lngNumberOfReplies + 1)\intThreadsPerPage)

 

 

I added Dim strTxtFirstUnreadPost   and

Dim lngFirstUnreadMessageID to the top of the file as well, so  I can get it to show the icon, and to go to the post, but it goes to the first post, and not the first post that I'd not seen yet.

 

Instead of loading for example

 

xxx.xxx/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3178&PN=1&TPN=1&get=#75377

it loads just

xxx.xxx/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3178&PN=1&TPN=1&get=#

 

 

Anybody know what I'm missing? I lost the original code with directions years ago, and not sure if they would have helped anyway as it was for version 6 or version 7, can't remember how long ago I first put it in.

 

All help is appreciated

 

'********************** First Unread post Mod *********************

i think the error in here: >&get=#<% = lngFirstUnreadMessageID %>"

 

it must be :
