This is a note to myself to take a look at http://groups.drupal.org/node/7916 so it doesn't get forgotten again.

hehe, ok thanks for the pointer, Michelle - well, I guess I'll just cry for help here then, and hope that someone more skilled than me will take a look at the code and modify it to work with the current adv.forum.

I'm puzzled that not more people have requested this feature - it seems so common in other forum apps, and users across all my sites have asked me about it. I'm not sure this should be "theming" though, this is really a code request i think.

This module is mostly theming so it's a bit nebulous where it starts and ends. I don't use many other forums and, TBH, don't pay any attention to the icons when I do, so it's not a real high priority for me. I'll get to it eventually, though, if no one beats me to it.

thanks for getting back so quick, Michelle and thanks for being honest too :)

it's not about the icons for me either - the important thing is for the user to be able to see if there is new activity in the forums. As it stands now a user can only see if there a new posts, not new comments, and I find it a bit too much to let people browse all forums to see if a forum has any activity.

But as always - love your modules and I use them all on several of my sites - thanks for contributing so much and being so quick to respond :)

Ah, yeah, the new comments thing is something I want to get fixed. Icons, to me, are just decoration, but it's annoying having it only show new nodes and not comments on the main list.

So does this module fix this issue? Has anyone confirmed it? Because it is something I would like to get changed as well.

No, it's not fixed. That's why it's still marked as active.

Actually... Let's mark this one dupe. Since it goes along with http://drupal.org/node/238668

Different icon, by forum, will be great too :)

I found an easy way to do that, just add $id in the image name.

advanced_forum_theme_image(t($id.'-forum-folder-new-posts.png'), t('New posts folder'));

Something i don't understand. On Forum-list page (not topic-list page) the "new status" is given for new node only, not new comment too ? Because code seems to do that for both, but pratical, it only works for new node.

if ($forum->new_topics || $forum->new_posts) { ...
