Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Very well! only two caveats: 1. would be nice if the symbol “!” It could be changed 2. it would be nice if the title of the forum became bold if unread

This is great, with this plug-in it is like phpBB but betterer. 😉 Seriously this is good, it works too for child forums unlike bbPencil (sic.) Now if I can just make one change I smell a donation coming on! w00t.

This plugin is really quite good. It displays a small image next to unread topics in forums. Although, I choose to go with the “bbPress Pencil Unread” plugin instead. I prefer the line next to the post over the icon. I think its more minimalist and smooth.

It works as intended. Giving it 4 stars because it does work as intended. Would give it 5 if I could figure out how to change the icon.

Great plugin – Does exactly what its supposed to. The behaviour is similar to a phpBB3 bulletin board when displaying unread posts within a forum or topic. Just what I was looking for.

Moved from phpBB to bbpress and was missing this kind of indicator. Now the feature is back. Really great. But please add a “Mark all as read” option. My converted forum has nearly 25,000 entries. I can not mark each one manually. Thanks
