I was thinking that maybe you could add a feature to allow members to set posts to read without having to view the post or without having use the set forum as read either. So ability to set a individual topic. I have kinda a cool way of doing this which is just to have the ability to click and hold the "view new post" icon [] to set a post as viewed. Its no more load, in fact its less than having to view a topic and wizz back out. Also its a nice a tidy way to do it imo and has been done many times in forum view for various tools mods/admin posses.

Neat, simple idea - I like the concept.

this doesn't mean i approve or want a bump mod added to ipb :angry:

*bump*

Not bad

Before we get in to extending the "has been read" system, I'd like the current system to get all the bugs worked out. When I've actually read a topic it stays that way. When I post a multi-mod that includes a post to a topic I'm not forced to have to read it (automatically marked read). And so on.
