| Nothing, that's just the way the forum works. Wether a topic has been read or not is determined by the post date and your forum last visit date. All posts made later than your last visit date are shown as unread. |

What you want would mean a database structure, because you'd need to maintain the date of the last read topic per user per forum (at least) and add all the code to handle that. That would mean also changing a lot of pages...
I guess you will need to go back to phpBB... |

| You can pick every single page where topics are displayed, or info about recent topics is shown: default.asp, active.asp, forum.asp, personal profile pages and probably moderation pages as well. Start by defining the changes to the database structure and proceed from there. Enjoy the ride :). |

Fraggel, to answer your question properly ...
It all works on the member's "last here" date, so you'll have to make the date on the thread 'older' than youre last visit. |

Hmm wonder if i can solve that by giving the post a virtual older date, or if i hae to tamper the database. In what resulution is the last visit resolved ??? minuts och seconds?
Idea: Create a list in global.asa that contains the ID of the topics written and/or replyed during tha last session. And the when drawing the page check the topics against the session variable list. Cant be that tricky. The hard part is just to findout WHERE to implement it.

| if you are wanting to keep track of every single topic and whether it has been read or not by every single member, you'll need to modify the DB. I did a little "who read" MOD that you might be able to add to for your purposes. Do a search for it to find where to download. |

| To document who has read a topic or not, you just need to record the topic id and the member id in another table. take a look at that MOD, and you'll see what I did. I also include the date/time it was read. One word of caution, if you do this, the size of your database will grow pretty fast depending on the number of members and topics you have. |

Hehehehe No problems I have a 120bg disk dedicated to the forum and im hosting it in a sql server.
Then Ill figer some thing out that clears the table of entitys when the user logs of and the relay on the last logon function. Just to keep the db size down.

I'm using the "who read" mod and love it. Was already thinking of using it for the purpose of marking topics as read/unread but do not have enough experience with sql.
The sql statement i want in simple words is an "unread list":
- with every topic (in a forum) check if a record exists for the member in "topic_read"
- if not then add this topic to the list "unread".
Later i can do something with the field "last_read_date"
