Suggestion: mark threads as read by Admin, SMod, Mod

[TheMusicMan]

I am not sure about anyone else, but for my Moderators, I choose for them to manage the forums as and when thay are able to, and not on any form of rota basis.

This means that quite often many threads get read many times by the mod team. It would be nice to know if something has already been read by one of the team.

I appreciate that vB does not store who has read threads in the db, so I understand that a significant hack would be required. Is anyone willing to have a crack at this...? i.e. once read by Admin, Supermod or Mod - these threads would somehow be marked as read and this mark would then be visible in the search results listing.

Any thoughts...?
