Posted - 15 September 2015 : 17:26:58 Having done a search for a 'Jump to first unread post in a topic' the nearest I could find relating to it was this old thread... http://forum.snitz.com/Forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=31927
We already have this which will 'Jump to Last Post'
How hard would it be to convert it to 'jump to first unread post' within a thread for logged in members and leave it as 'jump to last post' for visitors who would not be 'cookied' so therefore the software wouldn't know what they'd read or not? |

It shouldn't. It is sorted by Topic_ID in descending order. |

Posted - 04 October 2015 : 13:04:47 Changing CInt() to CLng() fixed the error however when jumping to last unread post from default it takes me back to a post way back in 2005 instead of the last unread post in that forum |

Posted - 04 October 2015 : 12:57:48 Sorry for the delay Carefree, I've now tried implementing this and get the following error on Default.asp
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006'
Overflow: 'cint'
/forum/default.asp, line 1072
That line is the second one here:
Set rsUR = Nothing If Topic_UnreadID > 0 Then intTUI = CInt(Topic_UnreadID) Else intTUI = 0

There's no way to know (with the current configuration) which reply someone responds to. Replies are all associated strictly with the topic, even if the content refers to a specific earlier reply.
Subscriptions already fulfills the topic alerts. Members need only subscribe to their own topics. If you make alerts/emails automatic for all topics, you'll probably end up on a spam list and have your server blocked. |

They are. Not sure exactly what you want here. An indicator of topics with new replies BUT only those which you either created the topic or had previously replied to?
I'd like to personalize some kind of alert to a given member so they can keep track better if someone replies to their post OR a reply they made... Same thing's I've been wanting for oh.... about 10 years give or take
Active topics, seems to me, to take care of the rest.
Then No other forum software would have anything over on Snitz as far as I'm concerned. |

Posted - 21 September 2015 : 00:33:38 OK. This is untested, but should do it.
"topic.asp" code

Ok, got ya, however it may be better to populate r_viewlist on a page basis, so if I open a topic with say 3 pages and only read the first page, the other replies in the topic does not get flagged as read, slightly more work, but a more accurate reflection of what you have read maybe. |

Posted - 19 September 2015 : 16:52:51 I'm jumping in here again to offer an idea (again). I would do this but don't have the skills or patience to learn.
How about: some sort of "Posts To You" and "REPLIES To you" on a per member basis alert in the header (sort of like the avatar approval mod) The jump to last post thing works well enough for me to keep up on others posts (using the active.asp). Wouldn't this do for most?
BUT... a posts or replies to posts (or other replies) of a member has always been sorely missing, IMO Any member would understand this pretty fast and most are self interested by nature anyway.
Plus a per member basis could be easier to track and smaller AND accessible across any device, would it not?
OK free 2 cents has been offered |

@HuwR
Yes, just about correct on that change: We don't need the line crossed out since intFound was already set to 0.
quote: Shouldn't it be
If Len(strViewed) > 0 Then
intLSV = Len(strViewed)
If InStr(strViewed, "|" & strMid & "|") = 0 Then
'we didn't find it, so append to strViewed and set intViewed=0
strViewed = strViewed & strMid & "|"
intFound = 0
Else
we did find it, so set intFound = 1
strViewed = "|" & strMid & "|"We don't need to change strViewed here
intFound = 1
End If
