a thread is marked as read when the user read the last message, if someone add a new message the thread become unread.
right now there is no difference between a thread never read and a thread read but with new messages.
so... do we want to show this difference? if true this task is not complete and we have to decide how to implement new replies features.

Yes we want to show this difference; the goal is that I can go back immediately to the last message I've read in this thread without having to scour 37 pages of discussion to find the 2 new messages that were left last night.
Curiosity: can you tell how/where the data is currently stored such that each user sees his own read/unread threads ?

how it works now:

  • we defined a "forum info manager" interface to handle all the services releated to statistics/info and more between posts/thread/forum and users (ForumInfoManager.java)
  • a simple default implementation (DefaultForumInfoManager.java) stores data on a separate jcr repository (foruminfo), future implementation could use relational db or whatever is the best for permormance.

to show if a thread has new messages for user we have to save, "user read this post", for each last messages of a thread page. it means store a lot of stuff but we can do it (we already store the last message to handle new thread icon).
if a thread has more than 1 page, we can add to already existing paging on thread list a link to the page with the last message read. If a thread has just 1 page we can modify the icons "the new messages icon" instead of use the "new threads icon"... or however show the link "new messages" to the first page.

Comment by Michael Mühlebach [ 04/Nov/15 ]

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
