This is a very minor modification but I just want to add a comment of explanation.

I sometimes open up a topic for viewing and then I forget which posts are new and which I have already read. This mod tags the titles of the unread messages with the familiar "new" tag, to show you which ones you are seeing for the first time.

It's funny that we all have different reactions. This was so minor a change that I had some reservations of even submitting the mod, but yet you evidently love it! :D

Actually I don't see why it couldn't be part of the core code. It seems reasonable to write the code this way, costs little or nothing yet improves the utility of the read out.

It will be interesting to see which mods make the 2.0 gold release, if any. I understand the words "feature locked" but some changes are so trivial to implement. It's harder to encode the mod package because it must work over multiple versions of SMF. The actual code changes must only work with the release.

Thanks.

Hiya EA! You must think a lot like me since I see your comments in many of my mod topics. I like to think that we agree simply because we are both reasonable and thoughtful people. :)

Your mods are the best that are currently being made, I dont post here much but just showing some appreciation and keeping up the encouragement to make more. ;)

Well thank you everybody. The mod makes sense to me too. One nice thing about these small mods, they cover such a small area that they are very unlikely to conflict with any other mod packages.

I hope those aren't famous last words. :)

I have the same problem than dimdom, the "new" icon shows in every message of the page, not only in the new message.

Here two images so that you can see the error:
"I don't need a knight in a shinny armor, I need a angel in a trench coat"

Please try out the upgraded package that I've attached to my post. I've fixed it so that guests should never see the "New" tag.

If this works for you I'll replace the 1.0 version with this new 1.1 version. Let me know how it works!

Tokzu

No, the problem continues, the "new" icon continues appearing as much for the companies as in all the messages of the page although they are not new.

Brilliant idea for a mod yet again Deprecated  8)

Thanks mate :)
Do NOT give admin and/or ftp details to just anybody, see if they are trust worthy first!!  Do your homework ;)


dimdom

Sabre, it is working now.

No "new" for guests. :)

Deprecated

Okay, evidently I was overly tired when I updated that and I used the $message version of the variable instead of the $context version...

I've fixed the file on the Mod Site so go ahead and please download and install that modification instead. Please let me know if the one on the site works okay for you.

Thanks Sabre. Please delete your file attachment so as  to not confuse people.

hahaa   thats 2 minds overly tired.
Ive just woken up at the keyboard, and noticed your comment.
Because of a statement I read of yours, about you repackaging mods when they fail the install etc etc I thought that was a brilliant idea, and took that advice on board.
Since I tore my previous site down... what better time to try than on a fresh site.

Anyway, instead of just mentioning   $context, I uploaded my package ??  lol
Luckily thats the only thing to touch that area so far, or I couldve made a lil mess of someones forum. lol

Sorry about that mate, and deleted.
4.20am now mate, so Im back off to la la land... zzzzZZzzzz
But after I try something.
Great when you dream you're tweaking a mod, and wake up wanting to try it lol

That's no problem Sabre, and you're one of my online buddies. I appreciate your help, particularly when I'm asleep at the code. :)

Anyway the package is fixed now, and is available at the Mod Site. Anybody who has any further problems should (1) verify they have the latest version, and if they do (2) post here in the support topic.
