Feedback and a suggestion

    I am in the process of adopting this and am delighted with it. It works well for me. I have a deep nest of forums and I particularly like the way marking topics as read applies to the sub-forums too.

    A suggestion/request. How about when the Mark all topics read button has been used, it changes to Mark all topics unread ? That way I could mark as read all topics in a nest of forums rand then drill down to a sub-branch and unmark that. Because it would not know whether the sub-branch was already all read or not, you would need to mark all read again to turn the button into Mark unread (unless there were both mark and unmark buttons).

    What is the css that determines the button size? Its a bit big on my theme and I would like to shrink it.

    Also, for your interest, I had a widget that displayed recent topics and replies – actually (Style Pack) Latest Activity which is part of the bap style pack plugin. I have modified it to call bbp_is_topic_unread() to check the read status and only list unread ones. So now the widget displays a ‘to read’ list. And as you follow the link to an unread topic (or mark it read in any other way) it disappears from the to read list which is topped up by another unread topic.

    thanks for the good work – Tony

    Hello,

    First of all I want to thank you for your feedback! It’s good to hear that many people have use for this small piece of software.

    As for your suggestion, I also thought about a mark as unread button but came to the conclusion that in my case it was more or less a way of marking certain posts (besides it needs to be a bit more post specific then). However given the fact that you seem to want such a feature I will reconsider it.

    The CSS for customizing the button would be

    form.bbpress_mark_all_read input{
  /*your width and so on */
}

    I think a Widget which you described it is a realy good usecase! Maybe when I got some freetime next month I will try myself in something similiar.

    Hi again… I have developed a plugin which makes good use of bbPress Unread Posts v2 and emailed a description to the author of the plugin I used as a basis for that. If you would like a copy of that email, please let me have your email address. Send privately to:
