Ah, this is a timely thread for me. I've been thinking of making the change from #1 to either #2 or #3. Some people check our forum on their work machines, then go home and don't like having to wade through threads they've already read during the day (slackers!) and vice versa. So the database options seem to make sense.
I have a couple of worries. Ted, you mentioned possible db corruption issues. How common are problems related to this? If it were to get corrupted, would a simple 'fix' be to turn the option back to #1? And how much more intensive are the last two options on the server than the first one?
One last question. How do the server based options handle guest viewers? Do they just see all unread, all the time?
