I've looked at the datamodel but it's not clear how I can construct a query to determine if a post by a member has been responded to. The scenario is a moderated board where I need to build a list of replies for specific individuals who monitor category / forums and must reply to posts Any suggestions?
By "a post by a member" I admit that you're talking about a topic started by a member. All you need to do to find that is query FORUM_REPLY to find out whether there are records WHERE FORUM_REPLY.TOPIC_ID=desired_topic_id.
