Re: Forums - post is read

I think he was wondering on how you retain the info on what to set to "read."

The way most forum software does it is to use cookies, along with the last session time. Record the time the user last loaded a page, and when it's been more than X minutes, mark everything as read. Until then, use a cookie to store what "unread" pages have now been read.
