Hi, All
My site's boards get maybe 100 posts/hr at peak. We have a team of (global) moderators who read thru everything hour by hour (they don't "approve to post", they just vet and remove ads and loonies)
They're currently testing an implementation of UBBT, and are having massive problems with the "View recent messages for previous 1 hour" feature. Each time they rerun it (e.g. to catch new stuff that's come in), their browsers lose track of read/unread. So they have no idea what they've already vetted. It's incredibly frustrating.
It seems there's no easy way to get UBBT to remember which results in "View recent messages" are read/unread, per this thread:
https://www.ubbdev.com/forum/showflat.php?Board=modsuggestions&Number=56676 So...are there any hacks or mechanisms or strategies to enable moderators (or, for that matter, users) to easily track stuff as it comes in, keeping up with the flow, separating read from unread?
The only thing I can imagine is to tweak the results list so it sorts totally chronologically....so the mod can simply remember what date he/she has read up to. This is far from ideal for many obvious reasons.
Also, it seems that UBBT has no more advanced capability to show a user what's read/unread other than simply looking at the previous visit info on his cookie and marking anything more recent as new. Is that really as sophisticated as it gets, or am I missing something?
thanks for any advice!
JIM
