Marking an entry as 'unread'
Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2004 5:49 am
I wonder if I can get some advice.
I've coded a sort of weblog type site that lists individual entries by timestamp. I'd like to mark each entry as read or unread for each user.
How can I capture that sort of data? I could have a new sql table listing every page view by user but that sounds very server intensive! Or I could add a cookie for each user with a string of entries id's that had been read by that user. But that string could get very very long!
How is this accomplished on bulletin boards??
