If you were just referring to the QuickLinks listing then those links are links directly to the forum in question so I believe it is right that a subforum post should only highlight the subforum the post is in. If you are meaning something else then I think i need some more explanation.

If the QuickLinks is the name of the smal icons below the topic and post count in each forum, then yes i am referring to QuickLinks.

The problem i have, is that when my subforums get a new topic/post, the parent forum does not highlight or in any way show that the subforums have a new topic/post.

The only way my users can find the new topic/post except browsing through all forums with subforums (and i have many), is to use the drop down meny with “most recent topics with unread posts”.

I was hoping maybe it exist a way to highlight forums that got a new subforum topic/post.

Andy, if understand, they want the unread icon to bubble up all the way from the lowest subforum up to the top parent…  but want the allNested option set to 0 for everything else about the subforums…

The reason for this is because we dont want the names of the 2nd level subforums to show up in “top parent” together with the names of the 1st level subforum.

Ok – perhaps I am being dumb but I still do not have a very clear idea of exactly WHERE you are referring to for this display… how about a screenshot of the area and the view so I can be sure of what you mean?

Hi Andy,

I hope the below images help you to understand what i am trying to tell. Image1 show subforum. Image2 show parent forum.

Yes indeed. Ok this is nothing to do with the allNested argument but the icon along with the popup list of topics with new posts is very much targeted at the specific forum so no – there are no settings to change this.

Okey, so if i understand you correct:

the only way for my users to actualy locate new posts/topics in subforum, is either to browse through each forum with subforums until they stumble upon the right one or to use the dropdown menu with “new/recently updated topics”?

With few new posts it would be a minor issue, but my forum has 50-100 new posts/topics each day which limit the use of subforums.

Maybe a eligible feature for the future? It would make it easier to locate posts/topics in sites that utilize many subforums.

I appricate your patient with me in this thread.

Cheers

yes it can be considered but it is not actually as easy as it might sound…
