Show recent messages?

[brion]

A person on my forum is looking for the feature where you can click a link and it shows all the newest topics since you last visited. I can't find it on my forum, and if its disabled where is it in my admin panel?

No traffic here, please move this to the 1.1X support forum.

Are you using the default theme? Make sure this is somewhere in your /Themes/yourtheme/index.template.php file:

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a> <br />
That will add a "Show unread posts since last visit." link at the top, which links you to unread posts since your last visit.

Also, please don't bump within 24 hours.

I am using the classic theme

[Nick Whetstone]

/Themes/classic/index.template.php

Code (Find this) Select Expand

if ($context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin'])
echo '<br />
<b>', $txt[616], '</b>';

Code (Replace with this) Select Expand

if ($context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin'])
echo '<br />
<b>', $txt[616], '</b>';
                        echo '<br /><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a>';

This worked for me.

Thank you! I converted it to an icon instead of text.
