From what I have gathered, when a visitor goes to my BB, a cookie is placed on their computer that has a date and time stamp on it. This will allow the person to see, at a glance, which forums have new posts and which forums don't since their last visit.

I have 30 forums on my board and not all of them are read in one visit/browser session. Has anyone come up with a more detailed cookie subroutine that would not only read/write the date and time of the visit, but include which forums have been visited last too? Is this at all possible?

I don't think there is a hack like that, it's done by time and not forum visited.

I don't think many people write Requested hacks for v6.0. Better if you ask in the v6.2 forum and down-grade it to v6.0 when it's released.

The UBB I'm using on my site is v5.47e. I know this most likely means even fewer people possibly writing any hacks for it, but it's worth asking.

Oh, well it's possible then because we have some v5 hackers around.

Any v5 hackers have anything like this or care to take it on?

I could've made it for 6.0 (and test on 6.2), but not 5.47e wink
