Don't know if anyone mentioned this b4. Don't care frankly boxed
But it would b nice if there was a feature that remembered the replies in threads that you already read, so there would b an indication when there are any unread reply's, and also you would b taken to the first non-read reply when u enter a thread. Now you always have to scroll all the way down. And i'm laaazy.

We're talking a lot of data for this--I'm not sure I really want to implement that feature. But I'll think about it... it's certainly easy enough to do.

Maybe something like it only works on the last 100 threads you've visited? To at least limit the amount of data storage...

Of course maintaining some 60.000 aditional data elements per account is a bit costly. But if you only create a record for threads actually accessed, and u delete these records if said thread by that person isn't accessed in, like a month, you could assign more records to people who access many threads and very little to persons who log in rarely. And you could even assign a certain amount of storage space to this and leave the limit date dynamic so it changes automatically.
Of course, only if u think it's a usefull option, Sir! wink
