So, I'm reading through all the threads in reverse chronological order and the mechanics are getting tedious. In short, I'd like to hide all threads below the "last visit" divider that I've already seen.
As a starting point I'm thinking of adding '?hideseen=1' to the url. Any obvious problems with starting there? I'll be working at workprocess/nimforum.
What provider is hosting forum.nim-lang.org?
I see that nim-lang/nimforum has been through a recent redesign. Is that phase complete? Intentions or road map for more of the like?
Cheers, Mark
Reading through all the threads
Now that is some dedication. :D

But why? Can't you just ignore every thread that's below this divider?

Yep, this has been finalised and we're ready for contributions. The issue tracker has a list of issues that still need to be handled.
Why? It's a work process, like cloning a repo and then deleting every line that I understand until all the files are empty. The tedious part is having to load more threads which over time is an order n squared problem.
Another thing is that the load more threads button does not touch well on my tablet. I need to try it on a desktop.
I still owe you an issue for dragging down on a tablet while previewing a message but I want to try the equivalent on a desktop first.
I'm reading through the existing issues too.
Moving along, it looks like my filter is easily implemented in the nim/js front end. Can you comment on the idea of having something like test.forum.nim-lang.org co-located with the same back end and thus the same database, using a git testing branch, and deployed more or less continuously?
Thanks again, Mark
Oh, I think I see what you mean. FYI the "last visit" line doesn't track the threads you've actually seen, only when you last logged in (with a ~30 minute timeout).
We can implement a /p/<page_number> URL because that is something the old forum had and I was planning on implementing it anyway for better SEO.

We could do that but it would require work and I'd rather just test the forum locally (and would encourage others to do the same).

It looks like what I am seeing in my browser for threads that I've seen is styling based on css :visitor which has privacy protections that make automation in the browser difficult if not impossible.
What about an rss feed (feeding all history) and I can use an rss reader to manage what I've seen? Mark.
