Overview

Moodle forum participants can see a label in the course page near forums showing the number of unread posts since the last time they entered the forum discussions. This article describes how to enable the unread post labels for all of the user's forums.

Note that if a user is subscribed to a forum, all its postings are considered read and no unread posts will be indicated.
