Hi,
I am no php developer, I work with other languages, but I do understand it, and I was looking at phpbb's source code and I noticed that 1 specific thing just bloats the board index page, this has to deal with marking if a forum is read or unread.
I noticed that in phpbb 2.0.x, along with querying the forums and categories on the board index, you also query all the unread topics for each forum. This is extremely bloating the software, I don't understand why you guys would want to do that? I know that your forum read/unread is more accurate than IPB and Vbulletin, but querying every single topic that is unread on the board index unnecessarily, is quite an load. What if there are 20000 unread topics since the last visit?
I know it is hard to make the forums read/unread any other way, because I too developing a coldfusion forum, but, don't you think there is some other efficient way?
Board index is just...bloated

And just to note that the method used to mark read is different in 2.1/3.0 ...

Re: Board index is just...bloated
That's good to know, SamG, what kind of method are you guys using now? Will it follow the Vbulletin/IPB method where you have to view the first page of the threads index inorder to mark the forum as read?
If not, then please explain, I'd love to know.

IPB "demonstrated" their mark read capability some weeks after (IIRC) I placed similar functionality in CVS.
