| I dunno how many times this has happened to me. I read threads in a forum, marks it as read, replies to one of the threads and goes to some other site. After a while, I return. I see that there's a new post in the forum, I open it. I open the thread and scroll down to the last post. That's the reply I made! I forgot to click on "Mark forum as read" after posting.
The current code which decides if a thread should have  next to it compares the time of the last post in a thread to how long ago the user marked the forum as read, right? That means that threads can't be marked as read individually. Because of this, you can't add a thing to the reply/new thread code which marks the thread as read, which would prevent the annoyance mentioned above. However, there's another way.
How about this? In the forum view code, after it decides if a thread should have next to it or not, add a piece of code which compares the last poster in the thread to the current user. If the last poster = current user, remove the . The same goes for the main page. If all threads' last posts are made by the current user, the image is not put next to the forum.
Anyone willing to add this to the board? (edited by Smallhacker on 11-20-05 05:18 AM) (edited by Smallhacker on 11-20-05 05:19 AM) |

| Also, I suggest making it so all threads are marked as read by default, when you just made an account... I can't keep track of the amount of (stupid) people who've been digging 3 year old topics, then saying they didn't think it was old because it was written it was "new" next to it... _¬ | |||

That's a good idea, Smallhacker. I should be able to impliment it on my board, and I'm sure that Xk can impliment it here. Just dunno if he will...  |

| It was easy as pie!
I just opened forum.php and changned this:
if(($thread[lastpostdate]>$postread[$id] and $log and $id) or ($thread[lastpostdate]>ctime()-3600 and (!$log or !$id))){
To this: if(($thread[lastpostdate]>$postread[$id] and $log and $id and $thread[lastposter]!=$loguserid) or ($thread[lastpostdate]>ctime()-3600 and (!$log or !$id))){
Of course, my forum.php and index.php are modified to show  ,  ,  , and  based on the scheme you're using.  |

| I dont see the point in doing this really. I never mark a forum read then reply to something. I mark it read last, so it wont say NEW any more..... | |||

| But if someone makes a post while you're making a forum read, then you'll never know that post was made, because the board will mark it as read, too. | |||

| Unless you, y'know.
Looked at the "last post" field. Hell, I don't even use mark forum read, I just look at that, and I've never had problems  |

| Yeah it would be great now that i thought about it, also how is your board going i checked on it a couple months ago just to see whats happening. | |||

| Ah, OK. I got confused for a second there, since you said it was good, then said it was great.
To skip off-topic for a moment, my board is doing fine. I've implimented this there, as well as many other things, though the NEW thing isn't optional on my board... |
