justsomeguy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 You might want to go to the forums for Simple Machines, phpBB, or another forum product and ask there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jay Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have been told by experts-exchange to use the last visted date against the posted dates in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 That doesn't guarantee that they viewed a certain post. You would probably want to keep track of when they viewed a thread, and if there is a post in the thread that is newer then their view date, then you can mark the thread as new.
