I'd love to hear that vB's designers had managed to work out a simpler way of tracking viewed threads without the db overhead...

Like I said, I remember reading some rumours about a system that would have that overhead, but would reduce it by limiting the number of threads affected.
Of course this would be a solution that couldn't really be used by big boards...

Let's wait and see
