I guess if you found a way to edit the timestamp to being 'new' again it would work with that way.</p> <p>Other than that, it would require having all sticky posts checked against a new table entry for this plugin, which is much more work and much more page requests.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-sticky-get-a-new-color-when-something-new-is-posted#post-10717 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 23:55:39 +0000 M 10717@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Very nifty, thanks.</p> <p>It only works for newly created sticky topics. Is there a way to make it work if you un-sticky and re-sticky an old sticky topic? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-sticky-get-a-new-color-when-something-new-is-posted#post-10710 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 18:49:43 +0000 benbeltran 10710@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@_ck_: Wasn't there a plugin already to change the style unread posts?

There is however a plugin to track who's read what last post but that which unfortunately needs yet another plugin. </p> <p>bbPress is very weak in the user event tracking department. Not even a built in last login date which is a serious flaw in design. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-sticky-get-a-new-color-when-something-new-is-posted#post-10104 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 11:41:21 +0000 fel64 10104@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Change the colour of the stickies to something else? Or change it every time? I don't understand what you want to do. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-sticky-get-a-new-color-when-something-new-is-posted#post-10090 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 02:12:07 +0000 zapata 10090@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Because of the nature of stickies and the green color to it... one tends to overlook them and move on to the new regular threads below them...<br /> is there a way to show sticky with new color everytime a new thread is posted or something which will tell readers that "Check sticky"... </p>
