Do you mean when you highlight it with your mouse cursor or actually click on one?

If you highlight one and click on it does it take you to that post?

If it is an issue with the mouse over not looking right can you tell us what Simple:Press theme and overlay you are using if not a custom one?

I mean when I clic over the highlighted link and it takes me to the post, then I cehck other posts and the preivous checked it re-appears.

I’m using wintering-blue theme.

So going step by step:

1.- I log in

2.- I check “New/recently updated topics” drop down menu and click over the first New/recently updated topic

3.- I’m redirected to the selected post and I read it.

4.- I check again “New/recently updated topics” drop down menu and click over the next New/recently updated topic.  At this stage the previuos topic do not appear highlighted.

5.- I’m redirected to the selected post and I read it.

6.- I check again “New/recently updated topics” drop down menu and click over the next New/recently updated topic.  At this stage the first topic checked re-appear highlighted.

 

Thanks

This is not behaviour I can reproduce.
Are you using the SP Admin Bar plugin by any chance as this can effect the list when is use?

Hi,

I do not use SP admin bar plugin.

I’m using the next plugins:

  • Custom Profile Fields
  • Editor (TinyMCE – Rich Text)
  • Google XML Sitemap
  • Policy Documents
  • Private Message System
  • Template Tags and Widgets

But this wrong function it happens since I updated my SP

I can not reproduce this at all and have been testing this out with your posts here over the last few minutes.

But – there is a possibility that this is connected to your timezone issue as being discussed in your other thread. I think you need to fix that issue and then see if this one persists after that.

Thanks it seams that it was connected with – seconds bug.

Another question, how can I activate the “Unread and recently updated topics” list of topics you have in the bottom part of the index forum page?

By default you will be showing this list to. It is just not – by default – displayed to forum admins who have other weays to detect new posts etc. If you want it to show up for forum admins then you need to add an argument to the template call.

This is the spGroupView.php template in your SP theme which can be edited via the theme editor.

The function in question is near the bottom:

sp_RecentPostList('show=10', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));

To enable the forum admins to also get this displayed you need to add the argument as shown below. Note the ampersand. The ‘show’ argument sets how amny itmes are displayed of course.

sp_RecentPostList('show=10&admins=1', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)
