Description
This is a post I made in the Discussion of the blog post about 3.0.6 plans and I was encouraged to report it here
OK, phpbb2 had a real issue with unreads - you logout you loose all unreads. With phpbb3 this issue is resolved (unreads can be kept in the db regardless the fact you logged out or not) But since you implemented functions like "View unanswered" "View new posts", "View active topics" why haven't you implemented a "View unread", also?
If a board has 500-600 replies/day this feature is priceless. You click on view unreads, read what you are interested in, click mark read for the rest and voila, all fine...
You login, you read until half of one page, you click "mark as unread" for the first post you did not have time to read and the next time you click to view your unreads, from that post and on they appear as unread. I really never understood the purpose of "View new posts", anyway. If a post was made before your last login and you didn't have time to read it then it is not listed there sometimes, and to find all unreads you must go from forum to forum and click on all the topics that have unread posts.
I was using keep unread in phpbb2 and if asinshesq hadn't created View or mark unread posts I honestly couldn't be able to upgrade to phpbb3 (my members would eat me -alive ... :lol: )
So, how come?
P.S. Many people probably cannot understand the need for this, but I seriously say that once you have this feature and get used to it, then you cannot imagine living without it (really...)
Anyways, since unreads are now marked and never get lost, I hope that this addition will make it to the core of phpbb3. Have a nice day and apologies for the big post... :oops:
PS: I attach a screenshot with the results after clicking "View unread posts" and the arrow drwan there points to the feature to mark all your unreads as read..
