Sorry but we don't currently have anything in the forums to keep track of who has viewed posts or not.

There is a link in the user profile and on the member lists for threads a user participated in.

I have plans to improve the forums some to make it easy to find un-answered posts and to be able to mark specific posts as the answer, but to be honest I don't have any immediate plans to keep track of what posts each user has viewed. That is a lot of complexity and a lot of extra data storage. Not saying we will never do that but it is not on my short list.

What we may do is add different styles based on whether the user has visited a link using CSS rules like you could do this today in your own skin, but this is based on the browser history and if the user then clears the browser history all threads will appear new.

An example of what I mean in CSS is like this:

.forumview a:visited {} 

and

.forumthreadview a:visited{}

could apply different styles to threads that the user has already visited.

But another down side of that approach is that it doesn't account for new posts on a thread the user already visited.

Best,

Joe
