Display count of unread posts in welcome box
Developer Last Online: Jan 2018 
This thread is in the Modification Graveyard.
This modification is no longer available or supported. * This hack only works if you use the new database thread marking system, if you don't, then you probably should be. * With the new marking system I have found a simple count of the new posts since your last visit to be less informative and useful than it used to be - esp as the GetNew function now excludes threads you have read, but includes threads from before your last visit. Therefore I decided to try a new system that counts the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you, and will show up in a GetNew search. In fact this hack gives you two options (with a new setting in the vBulletin Options > General Settings). If set to yes, it will only count the unread posts since your last visit, if set to no it will count all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the GetNew display. To install this hack simply download the xml file to your pc and then import it into vbulletin as a product - then alter the ACP setting to your preferred option (the default is 'no' (i.e. all unread posts). Note: This hack injects the result direct into the navbar template during page construction, thus avoiding the need for a template edit. This requires that a certain text combination exists in your template. This will be fine for most boards that use a navbar based on the vB default, but you should bear this in mind if you have a totally custom navbar. History: v1.01 : First Release. v1.02 : Minor changes, no update necessary. Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Screenshots

Nice mod but you might want to remove the echo query out of the xml file or some newbies are really going to be confused.

Yeah, I suppose so.
Since it was commented out it wouldn't actually do anything, but removed anyway.

Before anyone jumps in here, I have talked to this gentlemen in another thread and explained the differences between 3.0 and 3.5. 'Nuff said.

trancetopia & GoNz00 (and anyone else).
It will work on any 3.5 version, however, did you read all the smallprint ? 1. Are you using a custom style (specifically the navbar template) ? 2. Are you using the database based thread marking system - if not then it won't work.
