Why on Earth would you do that? Thank goodness, I'm not getting any such notifications. How am I avoiding that, is there a profile setting I was smart enough to disable? Sure glad I did that, emails are a total waste of band width for this purpose.
Personally, I'd like to see a list of threads that have been posted since my last session as a higher priority.
You record the last session time right? This could be accomplished with something like
select from threads where lastpost-datetime >= lastsession-datetime.
This, of course, finds threads that have been updated since the last session, but not unread threads that haven't been changed - that might require a cookie - except that you seem to record other stuff about the users history).
That is, frankly, a cop out answer. The 'current db technology' isn't to blame, its the way 'current db technology' is being used. It is you who chooses to spend your time and effort elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with that business decision, its your business and your decision, however, there is no reason to deflect and blame it on 'the computer'.
If you don't want to do it, just say so, that is fine, and the OP said as much. But please understand that lots of other forums have no trouble doing such a basic task.
If you can position to the last post in a thread, why can't you position at a specific post in the thread? You do record the posts for the user, and you can display the post in isolation, why can't you display the thread and position the page?
