      Your style seems to be custom, have you checked for a updated version. Was the style made in let's say for example 4.1.8 yet the site is currently on 4.1.12 or 4.2.0?

      Hmm try creating a 100% fresh default style, then check the new posts to see if they function properly, if so then you know it's template related in the style itself.

        The site is currently on 4.2. I had to change What's New to New Posts from Activity Stream.

        Odd that it seems to be working now. I thought do=getnew and do=getdaily were two different functions. Does getnew automatically switch to getdaily when people are not logged on?

          It is actually the same code in the system. Getnew simply is tailored to the user if they are logged in.

            Hi, I have already disabled my What's New tab (never liked it) but since my update to vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 2, when I log in to my site I am directed to www.mysite.com/activity.php I hate it! I really need all log ins to be sent to my home page www.mysite.com/content.php Can somebody please give me some direction? My site used to always log in to the forum.php and I could stand that but now its just awful. Thank You

            My Edit : Sorry I did find the answer for this on the
            Resetting the Default Tab in 4.2.0. Thanks again.

              Problem with unregistered users

              I have the same problem as dougdirac.
              I changed the link of the tab to
              Code:
              search.php? {Vb: raw session.sessionurl} do = getnew & contenttype = vBForum_Post
              Everything is fine for registered users. But for unregistered, the link remains the same, no changes to getdaily and therefore does not work.
              Please help

                  If no worked solution, it would be better, at least some of the support to say where navigation is stored ... -> i mean {raw navigation}...

                    Your code above has spaces within it, please look at my original post and note the code has no spaces. Copy the code w/o spaces and use it instead - Does the problem persist now?

                    Are you running a custom style or other that could possibly conflict with this? If you make the correct changes then it should work please let me know what you have tried specifically .

                      I've replaced What's New with New Posts in the Nav Manager in an attempt to restore the functionality I had in vB4.1.10. As per instruction listed on this site I've replaced the Target URL with:
                      Code:
                      search.php?{session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post
                      But when I log onto my site, teslamotorsclub.com, in an incogonito window and click What's New, I get this:
                      ----
                      Message

                      Sorry, there are no new posts to view.

                      You may search for posts updated during the previous 24 hours, here
                      ----

                      The "here" bit includes a link to Today's Posts (i.e. do=getdaily). Before I upgraded, What's New defaulted to Today's Posts for unregistered members and New Posts only for those who were signed in. How do I get that functionality back?

                        You'd have to create two tabs one right after each other.

                        In the tab for member's put member in the show value. For guests put guest.

                        The url for Getdaily would be:

                        search.php?{session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post

                          Well that should work. Thanks. Why isn't that in the sticky thread on this issue? And what were you talking about here?

                              So I liked the activity stream but I also really missed the 'old' "What's New" so I decided to get both working.

                              • Renamed the "What"s New" to "Recent Activity"
                                • Change
                                • Tab Script(s) OLD
                                  Code:
                                  search.activity
                                  NEW
                                  Code:
                                  activity

                              • SAVE
                              • Made a new tab called "What's New"
                                • Target URL
                                  Code:
                                  search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post
                                • Tab Script(s)
                                  Code:
                                  search

                              • SAVE


                              You should now have both functions. I am sure there are things we can expand on to make this even better but this was my first 10 minute poke at how to get the results I wanted.

                                The What's New link exists as "New Posts" in the sub-nav when viewing the Activity Stream or Forum Tabs.
