I have a working patch for this feature. It's a bit late to get it into 0.9 but it will be committed in trunk soon.

Could you post your patch here for review? I have a major patch I'm finishing up and want to see if they will conflict. Thanks.

The patch is not ready for review, but it should not conflict with anything.
What's your major patch about?

Personally I'd prefer if the bullets were at the end of the title in stead of before. As the bullets are now they break the flow of the page. The fact that it is bold already shows that it's either new or updated, if you want to know which you can look at the bullet.

Also, the choice of small coloured bullets can make it hard for people that have trouble seeing colours to see if it's new or updated. Could you try putting new or updated in superscript at the end of the title to see the difference?

I agree with the breaking the flow part, but not with the consequence… What about indenting the subject line for not-updated issues so that they are at the same level than the others?

I'll argue about the consequence here too :-) I think it should stay a visual rather than a textual cue… What about different colors and shapes? Like a green square for new issues, and a yellow bullet for updated, and so on?

Maybe we can have a green bullet for new issues and nothing for updated issues (just bold subject):

I think I'd prefer having the boldness for making the changed/new issues stand out, and different bullet colors/shapes to differentiate changed and new, but I think that's more a matter of taste, and I suppose is configurable through a custom css. Other than that, UI looks good to me.

nice feature, looks good for me:)

Looks great! +1

So what happened with this. Did it just die? Can you post your patch for this?

+1 I think it will be very useful feature for all Redmine users

I definitely prefer the visual hint too. It's pretty commom in email clients for example.

I think we have to clarify what the request of this Feature is in Detail.

• the description of this issue fully describes the required functionality
• this is NOT a duplicate of #3509 or #4466 because those issues also request that Forum threads/entries shall be highlighted.
• the Images attached by Jean-Philippe Lang Show the requested functionality
• the plugin mentioned by Egidijus Zideckas fulfills this request

• the description of this issue does not fully describe the required functionality
• this IS a duplicate of #3509 and #4466.
• the Images attached by Jean-Philippe Lang do not fully the requested functionality
• the plugin mentioned by Egidijus Zideckas does not fully fulfill this request

In our Company we were looking for a plugin that Highlights unread Forum entries and found out that unfortunately the plugin does not fulfill this.

+1 this should really be core functionality as otherwise the forum/board is not that useful.

I tried to install the mentioned plugin redmine_already_read, but it failed to get installed. What is the status of this function. I would really like to see it implemented!
Thanks for the good work.

We've taken the plugin described here. There are some repositories with this plugin on github.com by the way (i.e. https://github.com/tdvsdv/unread_issues).

I had to modify it to meet our needs, but haven't yet published it to github.
The versions on github seem to support even redmine 3.x.

P.S.: the mentioned plugin only support unread issues, not unread forum threads.

I installed it in Bitnami Redmine 3.0.2. and it works fine.
The last half hour I tested the plugin, the issues are marked with a green dot and the subject is bold. I like it so far. In the text above also a yellow/orange dot is mentioned for updates. I could not figure out when this is used.
E.g. I use user a to edit an existing issue. User B sees than the issue with a green dot as new?

Any news here?

at the moment no plugin works without any errors...
and I think this is an so important function.

Nice reature!
Why it`s not implemented in redmine core?
