Ok, I run multiple sites with the same users. In fact, I even share misc forums between the two. Some users still don't realize I have a "view all" link so they can see all the forums for both sites. So, when they go from one site to the other, they're logged in and out. Active topics then gets "messed up" according to them since it says they just visited (even after I explain why, they still don't always get it).
I'm about to add a new site and use the same member base. This time the sites will be quite different and not share any forums. It's still nice for them to have one account though. Here's the thing: it's even more important now for them not to be logged in and out because I can't point them to a "view all" link unless I make some new pages that read off of either forum (which I'm not looking to do).
So - here's the concept: in the FORUMS_MEMBERS table, there is: M_LASTHEREDATE. If I were to add another field, let's say M_SITENAMELASTHEREDATE, and then replace M_LASTHEREDATE with that in all the pages, and do the same for each site, I should "cure" my problem, no?
It's a rather simple concept, and I can say I know the code alright, but if anyone has any "watch out for this or that"s, I'd be appreciative.
I also thought I'd post this for others running multiple forums off the same member base who either never thought of the active topics problem or who didn't come up with a solution. |

I guess that should work, yes. I can't reallt think of any special recommendation, except that you do not forget any M_LASTHEREDATE reference in the code, but I guess you'll find out pretty quick if you do  . |

| Yes I shall. If you haven't noticed, I just like to think out loud. Once in a while, something useful comes out for someone out there, hope this is one of them |
