Showing new topics to people?
Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:39 am
I'm currently in a dilemma. I have made a new forum software, but I'm stuck at one last thing: showing unread topics.
If PHPBB wasn't so damn confusing to read, I could just dissect it there, but I can't. So basically, what happens is that when you go to any forum these days, you see topics that have new posts in them, or haven't been read yet, and they will probably have a new symbol next to them to show this.
I just can't think of how to do this. I was thinking cookies, but that'd be a TON of cookies EVERYWHERE. Beyond that, I have no idea what to do at all, and I don't even know the term to search for on google. =/
