      Good day, all.

      I'm a user of some forum which uses NodeBB.

      Is it possible (for the admins) to configure the forum so that the Unread section (a relative example here would be https://community.nodebb.org/unread) shows to the logged in user all posts and threads (topics) which were not read by this user?

      I have already consulted my Settings, but I can't see a setting for this.

      Currently there is only quite short range of posts shown in the Unread section. In this forum: only 26, while there are probably hundrends in fact.

      In "my" forum, after I read them, the sections displays:

      There are no unread topics.

      while in fact there are tens of them (in the last months I was visiting the Forum quite rarely).

      Now I'm trying to catch up, but Unread section quickly turned empty.

      By visiting unread page https://community.nodebb.org/unread
      By clicking on topic titles, user should be redirected to first unread message.

      Currently watching categories is opt-out. On forums having lots of new topics, this results in a huge number of items in example.com/unread. I think the unread page would be far more useful if watching categories was opt-in. That way /unread would contain only the items a user is interested in from the start and they won't have to go ignore a bunch of categories in order for /unread to become useful.

      @baris said:

      If we were to update the list automatically the page would be a total mess on a busy forum as topics would have to move around every time a new post comes in.

      You do have a point there.
      However, you could still do it in a Facebook-esque style:

      Without refreshing: When a reply is made to an existing topic (or a status, on FB) is made, do nothing (or alternatively, only update the reply count & "X posted Y minutes ago" snippet) When a new topic is made, add it to the top of the list When refreshed: List every topic in order of most recent reply (current behaviour)

      Hi,

      I noticed that in the unread page, if i have some "legacy" posts that is unread, and subsequently the category is disabled, it will still remain in the unread page.

      However, when one clicks on the post, it will show a 404 error.
