Reply To: Plugin: bbPress Go To First Unread Post
Hi Tanya,
I am yet to try the plugin on what I would call a “large” forum, but I wouldn’t think it would cause issues – it queries and writes to one usermeta variable each time a user visits a topic with new replies, and reads from a few usermeta variables when displaying a list of topics. As long as you have appropriate pagination, I wouldn’t expect to see any significant performance impact.
If you do install the plugin, I’d very much appreciate it if you can let me know how it goes – whether you experience any issues at all, so that I can see about making it more efficient if necessary. And of course, if there are issues with the server, you can always disable the plugin again to restore previous performance.
