## The following are new features as a result of Merlin's upgrade in May 2005:
##
## 1. The upgrade solves the bugs that sometimes gave a user an unread flag on
## his or her own posts, sometimes gave a user an unread flag on other posts that
## he or she had already read and sometimes caused a user to lose all unread flags.
##
## 2. The upgrade keeps unread flags beyond the current page of a topic until
## the user actually visits that page.
##
## 3. The upgrade gives the user a new yellow button on each post (right next
## to the quote button) that allows the user to mark the topic unread
## again from that post onwards (a sort of bookmark function).
If you are running the split topic type mod, the topic calendar mod, the profile control panel or any other mod that installs a file called d 'functions_topic_list.php' in your includes/ directory, you need to install the mod_for_functions_topics_list after you have already installed this mod (that mod has not yet been written and may never be)
Code: Select all
if( $unread_topics )
{
$view_topic_url = append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . "=$topic_id&view=newest");
}
else
{
$view_topic_url = append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . "=$topic_id");
}
// $view_topic_url = append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . "=$topic_id");

so this doesn't work with PCP, and probably never will?

}
