Currently there are no visitation stats in the uForum package, but I am curious as to how other forums implement this sort of thing?
Is it a matter of recording the users previous login, and then marking all newer posts as "unread"? Or would you like a per post stat like an e-mail inbox?
The first one I would think you could easily implement just by adding a property or two on your membertype, and then update that timestamp every time the user logs in (or however you want to identify a visit).
I think it can be implemented in 2 ways: * store user id, post id, and last date time which will be then compared to last comment * store user id and post and comment id
Currently I'm in decision making between uForum and integrating YAF. I personally like uForum, but it miss some key pieces like this and search.
Is uForum under some development? Is our.umbraco.org using it and will be some features like voting/solution mark available?
uForum is basically a fork of the initial forum that was created for our. All of the voting etc. is actually in a completely different codebase (uPowers, not released) , so there is no longer a direct link between the two, since changes from our is not ported to uForum.
I do have a plan to at least get uForum to a version 1.0 stage which would include a membership provider agnostic approach and would add some admin functionality to the forum. What will happen from there is difficult to say. Maybe the nice umbraco devs will let us borrow some of the uPowers code for the voting stuff for later versions.
Unreaded posts/comments
Hi,
I'd like create "unreaded posts" page. Is there any elegant solution for this?

I'm interested in per post stat.
