So I'm completely stumped on this one, but I'm sure there are a few people here who can help me brainstorm a solution for my problem.
I'm looking to develop a very basic message board system with CI and I've got a handle on everything except one feature: unread posts. When you come to this forum (or any other for that matter), it highlights the posts you've read, then when you read it, it doesn't show the notification any more. In the same way, if I come here, read a handful of posts then leave, then next time I come back, it still shows the posts I haven't read as unread. So the question is, how? What's the best way to accomplish something like this? Obviously I can store last activity in a cookie or pull it out of the session (storing sessions in the database), but the part that I can't seem to get my head around is how to set something read versus unread like most forums do.
Since these boards are blessed with a few geniuses, I was wondering what kind of avenues you think I should be going down to research this and what kinds of solutions might work best especially with CI. Any help would be absolutely HUGE.
