Why is there so much space on both sides of the new posts link? Can that be fixed?

Really? It works for me. Did you include the slash before forums? (i.e. /forums/) You don't have it listed that way above. If not that could be causing the problem.

Good luck. ![]() I have a question, tho...how would I only show the forums that have new posts in them in the SSM list? Also, how would you only show the forums that a user has permission to view at the same time? Thanks! ![]() No members have liked this post.

Yep yep, that worked. Thanks Chani. I too would like to show just the forums that have new posts in the SSM list. Until a way is figured out, I just turned that option off.
Infopro, I added the variable you gave yesterday and it worked. My reply was to the guy who posted above you. ![]() No members have liked this post.

Installed it... overwrote the existing... the link disappeared from the navbar. Removed and reinstalled 2.1, everything back to normal.

Installed, works fine on the default theme and doesn't mess up my custom theme anymore, but still doesn't work on the custom theme. (I'm still willing to pay someone to make this work with my theme if anyone is interested)
Also, when using the default theme, it says there are 5 new posts in 3 threads. However, clicking the link to see the new threads, takes me to the "There are no new posts" page... Which is correct, there are no new posts for me to read. No members have liked this post.

Same here. Unfortunately I don't have a backup of version 2.1 so I can't reinstall it.

Feature Request: Can forum permissions be integrated into this? I want my moderators to be able to see new posts in their private forum, but I don't want normal users to even know it exists.
