Generally speaking, most forums will have a View New Content widget installed and enabled. I can't seem to find it on here but my bad if I've just overlooked it.

When viewing the forums, I find it incredibly helpful to use the Activity Feed, but I find that when posts I've read or posted myself get shown it gets a little cluttered. I sugest implementing the ability to narrow down the activity feed to only things you haven't read.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

Have you seen this particular feature on other ZetaBoards forums before? We're rather limited to what we can add-on to Zetaboards vs some other forum software, but, if it's possible, I know Tim will at least definitely look into it. This is a pretty good suggestion. I use the activity feed as well, though, when activity is stagnant, it can be annoying to see the last five things that were done were by you and having to meander through the list. It becomes tedious, which sort of undoes the point of the feed to begin with?

I just find it easier to not have to work out if I've read something before or not and end up reading things twice. Multiple posts on the same thread also appearing make it difficult to decipher sometimes too. I've seen it on IPBoard but I'm sure zeta can handle it

I personally am not sure how'd we'd go about checking that. I imagine it would have to be some checks against your cookies to see what you've read? :s If there is a db that records what each user has read we wouldn't have access to it I don't think.

If it isn't something that already exists on ZB it would be rather challenging as it sounds like a fairly convoluted system.

I'll try seeing if the support forum has something though.

To clarify you want an advanced activity feed:
- doesn't show posts you've read
- only shows the oldest post on a thraed you haven't read

Does that sound right?

I've spoken to ZB and this isn't possible on their system. Sorry about this.
