MyBB Community Forums

I'm looking for a mod that can do this:

when there are new posts that he user hasn't seen, display an image (like a small star) in the header, and bold a link for "new posts" right next to it in the header.

Think of it like facebook notifications, only for new posts. I already have a link to "new posts" in the header, I would just like the text to bold and a start to appear next to it when there are in fact new posts for the person to see.

My url is rev*lutionb*x.*rg. *="o".

Willing to compensate, and shouldn't be too difficult to code.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks, I already have this, but I'm looking for a simple if/then statement, where:

If new posts exist

Then display star and bold text

If no new posts exist

Then don't display star and bold text

not sure if this is possible
you might need a plugin for this...

You will need a plugin for this.

I use the unread posts plugin from the mods database. I combine it with Template Conditionals to make an if else to show in a user panel if the number of unread posts >= 1
