Number of Unread

by Matt Fairfax · in Site Feedback · 02/26/2001 (1:25 pm) · 3 replies

What about having a number beside the Forums link on the right (or somewhere else) showing how many unread messages you have? I worry sometimes that a new message comes in after I have read a forum and before I mark Mark All As Read and I'll miss it thinking it is a message I've already read.

    I could reduce that window by having Mark All As Read set the read time to when the page was rendered. I am working on that code right now, I will take a look at it.

    Ok I can't sleep so I am trying to catch up on a few wish list items....

    Mark All as Read now passes in the date-time from when the page was rendered and displays the number of new posts at the time of rendering.

    Thanks! It has already helped! Even using the New Forum Threads link under What's New when I am trying to read 200+ new posts it can be hard to keep up with anything that is posted while I'm reading something else. Thank you!
