2 Questions: Disable Orange 'New Thread' Sticky / Disable
'Message icon'
DIR By: New_User
Date: August 13, 2019, 10:58 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I don't want to include this in my other 'General Support'
thread as its an entirely different question. Yes I have tried
scouring this forum for a solution but couldn't find any, these
are fresh queries that haven't been asked before, so any answers
provided will also hopefully guide other people who stumble
across this thread in the search
HTML https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji4.png
Nonetheless these are minor questions (nothing too complicated):
1) Is there any way to disabled the orange 'New Thread' sticky
tabs that appear for registered users when there's a topic they
haven't read - it says 'New' and its an orange tab?
At the moment if I register as a new member to test out my
forum, the whole forum is full of these orange tabs saying 'New'
on each board and sub-board. I want the default for them not to
appear, and new users can turn them later if they prefer to have
them
2) Is there any way to disable the 'Message Icon' dropdown
option in 'Start new topic' ?
I want to disable this for registered users not myself as Admin,
I want to remove it for everyone else as I don't want to end up
with a messy looking forum where people use different message
icons for their threads
Thanks again for your help and prompt responses !

1. No way to do it. The closest you could do is replace the
image with a single pixel image for the new.gif graphic under
manage style customize images. But that will hide new icons for
all.
2. I don't believe so.

Once again, thanks for the prompt response. But surely that
can't be correct, as this forum (the Support Forum) also uses
the same formatting code/language as all Createaforum forums, so
surely there MUST be a way you can turn this setting off... !!!
After all, newly registered users on here DON'T get the same
'New' orange sticky/label/tab on every single thread they
haven't read...
So please can you clarify what I have to do to turn this off?

I am not sure. Unless you clicked mark all read on this forum
that would remove it.

No, I didn't change any settings or anything on this forum, so
the 'new' labels were not there from the start.
Anyway how would I click 'mark all read'? Can you show me where
this setting is please so I can try toggle on and off on my
forum to see if that fixes it?
Many Thanks

UPDATE:
Just in case others are reading this with the same problem and
wondering what happened in the end...
Well I just realized I AM in fact getting these Orange 'New'
stickies even on this forum on threads which I haven't read
(Somehow I managed to ignore them)
So the CreateAForum guy responding on this thread was
correct...There seems to be no way to disable this feature for
registered users...
I will try to find the 'Mark All Read' button and inform my
forum users to disable the 'New' sticky this way (if they find
it particularly annoying... but I didn't even notice... so I
suppose it can't be that annoying...)
Thanks again
