When someone makes a comment on a post, that post goes to the top of the feed. If i then click on that post to see what the comment is, i have to remember what was there and try to find the new comment.
What would the approach be to give use users a way to either check of seen comments or an option in the settings to allow it to automatically check all seen comments, and then put those on the bottom of the comment section unless a a new comment is a child of the parent comment?
I'd think it would be easier to mark unread comments visually. If I did that I'm storing the data for that on the front end. Larry won't like that because his browser never persists anything. I've yet to think about how I'd want to model the data on the back end. Maybe something similar to what I'm using for voting. That will probably become the single largest record source for the site. But I guess it's lowish value data so I can just purge the table if it gets crazy.
Either way I'd do it on the front end first.
