Guys, please bear with me as I sort through some issues on the forum. I upgraded to 1.1.12 and since then things seem to be dropping in and out and we have also lost a few of the customisations. I will endeavour to get things back on track by tomorrow some time. Please be patient.

Thanks Creech for the explanation and for all the hard work in the background, I'm sure it's appreciated.

No worries, Creech. Thanks for giving us the options of choosing our own color.

As with the others, I've picked RED - and I agree - it looks AWESOME

I don't know if I lost any unread threads myself, I had about 5 unread Friday morning and then about 15 or 20 this morning - it could just have been a slow Friday.

Well i used to have a full page that showed "new"threads and all unread threads... i actually have about 180 pages of these.

Now when i got to "unread posts" i only have 6 threads shown... not the full page of 20 or so.

Ive got a feeling that the whole thing reset itself and is now only showing unread posts since that reset.... seems i may be starting again from zero

Same here - I used to have 20+ pages of unread threads (thread with new posts). Today I have 6 "unread" threads. It may have reset. But I swear last night there was an "unread threads" and an "unread threads since last visit". I clicked the former, and it went back to the 20+ pages view. I'm using the RED theme - I might try the default again.

I'm not having any problems, seems OK to me, using the default theme as it's easy on the eye.

There are now "REPLIES" and "UNREAD" tabs on the menu.

From the author of the mod:

"The tabs are meant to replace the ugly text of "Show unread posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts", which I remove from my themes. It also shows ALL unread messages, regardless of last visit time, unlike the default "unread" action which you get through that text."
