That makes a lot of sense, I think it puts me on the right track.

Re: Marking comments as read
Its a good idea, but i want to be able to see when a user has viewed a comment, and then act upon that at the end of the day. The solution i'm going with is tracking the post views, as opposed to the comment views, and removing the viewed rows in the db when a comment is added. any thought?

Marking comments as read
Hi all, I am trying to do something, and cant work out where to start. I have the blog app running, and have the comments paginated under the post. I have auth working, and would like to track when a user views a comment (Think marking as read) I have a db table viewedcomments, with the fields id, user_id, comment_id I simply want to add the relevent data when a comment is displayed, either on its own, or as part of the post page.
