Hm, I want to unsubscribe to this thread but I have to write a comment. So here it is. Sorry for this comment, I would have unsubscribed without commenting if I could.
(I no longer help run a forum, so I don’t need to see more on this topic. Thanks!)
I don’t think you have to wait for integration. The plugin Pippin wrote works perfectly. If, in future it’s fully integrated into the bbPress plugin for WordPress, then we can drop the extra plugin, but this works great! I wouldn’t wait for integration.
p.s. This plugin is worth supporting & I appreciate your work, Pippin. Hope many people have donated to your time spent on this. I wish I could give more. Thanks again!
Excellent – well thank you very much! Nice to meet your acquaintance today & best wishes to you always.
Oh thanks for both links, Pippin! Hah, I saw your plugin on the WP repository but 1. Saw the author name was not Pippin and 2. Thought it would ONLY be marked as read if you click the link. (Not automatically marked as read. You might want to add some verbiage that says that in the plugin description.)
The only odd behavior I’d mention is that I see my unread posts when viewing another person’s profile page. Seems like it should just be hidden on profiles that aren’t the logged in user’s profile. Hope that makes sense. Other than that it’s great! Thanks for creating it!
Oh, thanks! I actually had happened upon that repository page but disregarded trying it out because I thought it was a clone/another instance of this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/
It would be crazy to have to mark all the threads as read. I like that you have built in automatic recognition of someone reading a thread by visiting it more than a few moments. I’ll load it and give it a whirl.
Where to donate if this is just what I need?
I’d love this feature too. Our forum is coming from phpBB and the unread posts is dearly missed. Where can I donate to support this plugin/update? Where is the download of the plugin in progress? I’d be happy to donate and test if it’s of any help.
