Option 1 is probably more work than option 2. The timestamp from my perspective would be the one to go for. It would be great if someone could implement this change.

The original version of this hack only adds one Field ("whoviewed") to the "threads" table. It stores a list of UserIDs, and that's it.

Method 1 would only add another Field (i.e. "whoviewedsince" ), which would be handled in exactly the same manner.


If we go with Method 2, some way needs to be found to efficiently store a date/timestamp with each UserID for each thread. To my mind, that makes Method 2 more complicated to implement - although I agree that it would be the more useful option.
