    [Forum] View new posts/posts since last visit/last 24 hours - how do I turn it back on?

    The New Posts/What's New feature of vb4 seems to be missing a significant feature of the old board system.

    When you clicked on New Posts, you got all the new posts listed since you last visited.

    Then, underneath that, you got a break, and a listing of all threads which have unread posts, but which do not contain any new posts since your last view.

    Now in vb4, you click on New Posts, you just get a big list of posts with no cut-off or break.

    Is there a setting in the adminCP that I have missed to turn it back on to what it was in vb3.8.4, or do I need to edit a template or something?

    This is actually a major issue for a lot of our members, myself included!

      Erm. Great.

      I'm really starting to regret throwing away $195 on this. More to the point, our members who kindly donated to the fund to renew our licence are going to be pissed.

          Try this:

          Today's Post = search.php?do=getdaily&

          Add/edit/code that in and you should get the results you are looking for.

              Our users miss this too. Any chance of the divider coming back?

                +1 for the divider bar to come back

                It was incredibly useful.

                      +1 here, getting complaints of the "separator bar" missing as well.

                      We need to have this back.

                        We need it too... I found this thread on Google and I would like it back. Did somebody succeed in getting it back?

                            The search is broken as far as our users are concerned. You cannot get a full view of a user's posts (limited results showing up) and this ...

                            Come on guys, what happened to taking leadership in the forum space? Whats the use of implementing gee-whiz features when you cant get the basics that have been working for YEARS sorted out in the new release??

                              As soon as you hit "Mark Forums Read" then that whole section would disappear anyway since now you've read all the posts. Never used it, haven't missed it, nobody's complained about it.
