Is there a development option that would allow every user on his profile page to see the topics he has recently read
Now you can only see the topics that are being monitored

I think this can be implemented, we keep track of the topic ids the user read in uid:<uid>:tids_read, so it can be a new tab at https://community.nodebb.org/me/topics

I don't really understand it, could you elaborate more on what I need to do to implement it for me?
Thank you very much

If you want to build it yourself you need to write a plugin, there is no setting to turn it on our anything. It requires some development.

I am new to this field can you give me links to tutorials on how to develop this

<baris>

https://docs.nodebb.org/development/plugins/ also take a look at nodebb-plugin-quickstart for a sample nodebb plugin. Like I said I like the idea so I might implement it into nodebb core.

ANONINIMI

It looks like you're ready to develop it
Can you upload such a plugin here for my forum
Thank you very much

@ANONINIMI If it's going to be in the core, you'll need to wait for the next release, or manually patch your install once @baris provides the diff.

eeeee

Just my opinion but I can't see the use of seeing list of things Ive already read, and >99% of people wouldnt use it.
Its better as a plugin (if required), because no point to make Core more complex with rarely (or never) used features.

Any hours spent developing that would be 100x better spent on the 'elephant in the room' email signup issues.
