This is a question from the guy i am working on a forum for…

Is there any way to get the forum icons to change color to show whether a forum has new posts/topics inside it.

This
is obviously the way software such as phpbb and smf show new forum
activity, but is there a way to do this with simple press forum?

If not, could the way the admin is notified of new posts/topics via the icon in the admin bar be transferred over to the members?

I personally do not mind how it currently handles new posts/topics but at the request of the other guy i thought i would enquire

Hi, sorry to drag this up again.

I recently sent the forum i am working on live and we are getting lots of complaints about this feature where the forum icons dont show if there are new topics/replys.

Will it make the next version as the guy that i am working on the site/forum for is considering dropping it to go back to phpbb (even though he will loose the user integration with wordpress, fool)

Rich

Thanks for the reply.

I understand it is not a high priority and look forward to the next release.

I will tell the users to stop complaining in the meantime

couldn't do it in quite the same way as for topics because forum icons can be set to a custom icon… so have made it a flag instead but it works quite well.
