sf_announcment link with template tags

In the 4.4.x version I could use the sf_announcment function to display recent posts and for each show a callout gray or red whether or not the post was read by the user.

can I obtain something similar with recent_post or some other template tag?

I notice something strange too, my forum is guest readable, but If I’m not logged in recent post list is not updated.

Thanks

Ignore last sentence, the post not showing was from a Hidden groupkiss

I am afraid we abandoned the old ‘announce’ tag largely due to the fact that it was resource hungry and not all hosts were happy about the server polling. Apologies for that.

It’s ok, so there’s nothing like “user’s unread posts” in the last version?

thanks

Yes – the recent posts template tag/shortcode and widget are all personalised for the user currently viewing the site. This is the same. The difference is that the old ‘announce’ tag used to poll the server to get new posts at regular intervakls and that has been dropped.
