Re: Marking comments as read

Its a good idea, but i want to be able to see when a user has viewed a
comment, and then act upon that at the end of the day. The solution
i'm going with is tracking the post views, as opposed to the comment
views, and removing the viewed rows in the db when a comment is added.
any thought?
