If there is only 1 post, should be post and not posts on the text "View posts since last visit (1)"

That will be too much programming for such a little thing, I think I'm skipping that one for now, but I'm writing it down for the future. :)

Thanks for reporting!

Too much, I thought it would only be a simple if statement to check if the last post value is 1 or lesser than.

But I haven't had worked with PHPbb, so I can't say which part should be changed, but then, it's just a little typo that I can live with.

Thanks for taking time reading.

Have a good day.

Nah, on my site im always one for adding little things like that. But in this situation it sounds better as posts, well "view post since last visit" sounds wrong, even though it technically is right, it doesn't sound quite right. If it was "view new post/s" that would be different.

But yeah,

I'm not sure how to change it, I think it's a bit complicated since it's phpBB. The text is in language files and the php is in several different pages. And by default, that function to display the amount of post does not exist in phpBB, so that's added by a modification. That's why I suspect that it will be some problems with changing it. I could just change the language-file to "View post(s) since last visit", but I don't think that will look very good, then it would be two pairs of ():

View post(s) since last visit: (1)

But don't you think it sounds better as it is?

I prefer the current setup right now, than seeing two set of parenthesis.

Yes, that notification is not a "built-in" phpbb feature, anyway, the issue has been raised.

Just find time to try to fix webmaster. It's not that big of an issue though.
