so, I was wondering if there was a way to indicate if a forum has new posts/topics through the post/topic count on the main page. what I mean is, if it's possible for the post/topic count to change background color whenever there's a new post/topic in the forum. i cant explain this very well, so, let me show you.

this is the default look with no new posts/topics:

Spoiler:

and what i want, is for this to happen when there's a new post in the particular forum:

Spoiler:

basically i want the dd.topics and dd.posts background attribute to change from #caf3ff to #ff026d whenever there's a new post/topic.

is it even possible?

Please don't double post. Your post needs to be separated by at least 24 hours before bumping. Please use the edit button instead!

Hi @Nekobake,

Yes, it's possible, especially on phpbb3. However I have a question : Did you remove the background image that indicates new posts on the inner row's DL element ? I talk of this highlighted element :


What you could normally do on phpbb3 is use this along with the CSS attribute selector. For example :

Code:

dl.icon[style*="/forum_new_category.gif"] .topics, dl.icon[style*="/forum_new_category.gif"] .posts {
  background:#F00;
}

I looked at your forum, but I see no indication of the style attribute. If you can, I'd recommend adding it back along with an image in the AP that indicates new posts for categories. Also, if you don't want it to display, you can hide the image via CSS.

Hnnngg thank you so much for this. I'm pretty sure I can adjust it to work like this, but I'm a lazy bum so I won't do it right now

Still I'm considering this solved. Thank you again <33

You're welcome.
