Unread Topics Forums
I'm working on the ASP forum and have a little problem. I don't know how to check if topics and forums are read or unread. I have an idea. In table topics i add column with name IDS that stores ID numbers of users that read the topic. So when somebody writes a post in the topic, the IDS empties.
When you open the topic your ID is stored in IDS. There is no problem with topics but i don't know how to do that with forums, because there could be more unread topics in one forum. how you guys do this. So how do you check if there are some unread topics in forum and if the topic is unread. With cookies? sessions?

I understand that this forum uses some sort of cookie system to detect which threads have been read by users. I am trying to accomplish the same thing. My thought is to have a cookie with two keys: one with the last activity of the user, and the other with the posts that have been read.
Now, the only problem, is that I more than likely will need to update these reads threads based on a date/timeframe criteria, correct? Has anyone wrote one of these? In my threads table, I have a column named 'forumLastPostID' for each thread.

I would like to embed an include that fetches the top 3 or 5 most recent topics on my message boards and have them show up on my home page or any other page. They would be linked to that topic discussion. If you look at the bottom of SitePoint.com it would be like that include. I'm using the Snitz Forums on my site if that helps. Is there an easy way to do that?

I've made some forums, and I thought it might be useful if I put it on the forums for anyone to use. It's attatched, and I've even included a sample database for it. You can customise it as much as you want. I've even added a CSS file which you can modify.
This is the forum design I use on http://robmusic.somee.com/, and it works rather well. The only thing I haven't done is, when you delete a post, it doesn't reduce the amount of replies or threads in that forum.

Assume I have three types of users.
Type I can only Read Posts.
Type II can Read and Edit. And
Type III can Read, Edit and Delete Posts.
Now to manage this, do I need to make three different users in my DB or should I just use ASP to determine that what permissions should every user have. For example, Type I users will not have the edit and delete button on thier screens and Type II users won't have delete button on their screens and Type three would have all three buttons.
Even if I make different users in my DB (assuming it's necessary for security), so how would I determine that what connection string should I connect a specific user with since we have to give the user name and password on the ADODB connection string?

I have been looking for mailing list scripts, but discover that they all seem to be for "newsletter" type lists rather than debating lists. Are there any that can be used to allow all subscribers to post?

I found webwiz forums as best ASP 3.0 open source forums out there. It Might be better if I would have posted this msg in webwiz support forums but I GET ANSWERS FROM SITEPOINT.
What I want is to host multiple forum sites on one single SQL database and one code folder. I know it may require hard code and database changes but I'm not sure where and how. It is highlighted here that each website will be having its separate
- Users
- Categories
- Forums
- Admin Setting
- And Different Adminitrators
I searched on other sites but no one is sure of his/her own opinion (May be/try this/can be).

I need to upgrade my forums, but don’t have any time. I’m looking to purchase some third party plug-ins to handle some of the new functionality.
I need code to handle the:
Private messaging system
Transferring of threads from one forum to another
Banning users temporarily and permanently
Editing users posts and titles
