   This plugin doesn't always work somehow. When I login as a different user that's not admin, I'm unable to see the difference between unread and read topics. Sometimes when I am logged in as admin, I'm unable to see the difference between read and unread topics as well. Also, could you re-post the code needed for a "Mark all topics as read"? It seems to just appear as a hyperlink.

   To see what I mean, visit my forum at

   Thanks!

   Keep in mind that this plugin only highlights topics that you have already seen and then have new posts on them.

   If you have not read the topic previously, it does not bother to highlight it because it does not know it's something you want to bother looking at again. Newest topics with newest posts are always at the top of the latest discussions so it's pointless to highlight all the first posts.

   I mimiced that behaviour based on other forums I have used but if there's a better way, be sure to let me know.

   Marking all topics read is as simply as making a link that ends with "?mark_all_topics_read". So on any page you'd just make a link something like this:
   <a href="?mark_all_topics_read">mark all topics read?</a>

   ps. I really like your forum, very pretty design, nice work! I think you can fix the break at the top on pages with polls (like this) by adding "float:left" to the .topicmeta class - though there may be more to it - took me a few attempts to figure it out. If you don't know what I mean, put this at the bottom of your style.css .topicmeta {float:left;}

   Ah that makes sense. I think it's working then.

   Thanks for your compliment. Also, thanks for telling me about the gap issue. I didn't know how to fix it, but now it's all fixed. ^_^

   version 0.8.7 now can optionally indicate forums with unread posts if you change setting near top of file to $unread_posts['indicate_forums']=true;

   I'm not able to reproduce the error but I bet there's a circumstance I can't simulate. Try 0.8.8 when you see it here in a few minutes and see if that fixes it for you.

   I've now added the ability in 0.8.9 to also indicate topics with new posts since last visit (regardless if previously read). You can design a different style to highlight those kinds of topics.

   For example the default is a brighter blue for topics that have previously been read but have new posts and a duller blue for topics that have new posts since you last logged in, even if you haven't read them before.

   Note that the last login trick obviously is useless until they have logged in twice, because the first time was just moments before they see the topic list. The default time for previously unrecorded last login is 24 hours ago.
