hmm this doesn't really seem to work yet
I like it though
or at least I liked what the FAQ said about it

I've enabled the "UPI2DB System"
and I've set this "Colorize topic title if there are new posts:" to yes
but now on forum every category is stuff marked in orange :roll:
when I click it there are no new posts in the category though

What template are you using? I've adapted and tested it with Aphrodite only.
I'm not sure MG implemented it in his templates already. But this is up to him.

using MG winter

but it's like this on all templates :(
already tried that

I'll check the whole UPI2DB soon.

Thanks for reporting.

pleasure mate ;)

It does work with Aphrodite.

Here you can see how it should be:

but with aphrodite I had the same thing :mrg:
the unread color always stays ;)

dunno about the thing you posted

That is a bug with Announcements and Sticky topics. They aren't marked as read correctly. :oops:

I've found another problem with UPI2DB - If you have a secret forum for say admins and mods, any posts made there will still get counted for normal users as new/unread posts, even though they can't actually view or read them!

yes i can verify this.

i saw this some days ago here on xs.eu but dont find an solution yet :(

maybe Mighty has one

I downloaded UPI2DB 3.0.6, and scanned through the code (both in included fles and in instructions) there doesn't appear to be anything to check for view authorisation! I was also trying to search through the UPI2DB website, it is all in German! But despite my limited understanding, it didn't look like there was a post on this (I think...), so maybe you could raise it on there, auf Deutsch, KugeLSichA? :mrgreen:

im looking sometimes into that forum but the only this i read was with the recycle bin. but the problem have been fixed, i checked the code today.

maybe there is one other MOD how causes that problem.

I think the problem is still that there is nothing in the code that checks for view permissions... also, going by the install notes, the only mod that can effect UPI2DB is Categories Heirarchy mod, but this only effects the topic listing (and thus any highlighting) - it has nothing to do with the tagging of new and unread posts (which is purely done by itself...)

My suspicion to make this work properly is in the main function files, e.g. includes/upi2db/ upi2db_orig_lite.php

e.g. function set_unread()

in particular this statement: This requires a case structure checking view permissions
