Not By me

This has been tested to work in 5.0.0 and 5.0.1.

How to install Unread Icons for vBulletin 5.0.1

If you wish to use the full icon overlay:
Step 1: Adding CSS
Add the following to css_additional.css

PHP Code:
.z-unread-icon {
floatright;
margin-top: -45px;
positionrelative;
right75px;
top52px;
z-index1;

Step 2: Adding Code
Find the following code in display_contenttype_conversationreply_threadview_Text template

PHP Code:
{vb:set postStatus''
Right after this line, add on its own line

PHP Code:
<vb:if condition="$user['lastvisit'] <= $conversation['created']"><div class="z-unread-icon"><img src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/.././images/custom/unread-whatchamajigger4.png" alt="New since your last visit" title="New since your last visit" /></div></vb:if> 
If you wish to use the icon in the background of the post instead of the overlay

Step 1: Adding CSS
Add the following to css_additional.css

PHP Code:
.z-unread-bg-icon {
background-imageurl({vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/.././images/custom/unread-background-majigger.png);
background-positiontop right;
background-repeatno-repeat;

Step 2: Adding Code
Find the following in display_contenttype_conversationreply_threadview_Text

PHP Code:
<div class="list-item-body conversation-body"
Change it too

PHP Code:
<div class="list-item-body conversation-body <vb:if condition="$user['lastvisit'] <= $conversation['created']">z-unread-bg-icon</vb:if>"
If you wish to use the ?Spartan style

Step 1: Adding CSS
Add the following to css_additional.css
PHP Code:
.z-unread-bg-spartan {
background-imageurl({vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/.././images/custom/unread-spartan-majigger.png);
background-positiontop right;
background-repeatno-repeat;

Step 2: Adding the code
Find the following in display_contenttype_conversationreply_threadview_Text

PHP Code:
<div class="list-item-body conversation-body"
Change it too

PHP Code:
<div class="list-item-body conversation-body <vb:if condition="$user['lastvisit'] <= $conversation['created']">z-unread-bg-spartan</vb:if>"
You need to also upload the icon you want to the images/custom folder
