Hey team,

First off, your plugin is FANTASTIC! The design is great and the functionality is excellent. We have a very active user base and WPdiscuz fits almost all of their needs in one neat package, which is quite an achievement. Buuuut... (there's always a but) The one thing that's missing that would be absolutely huge for us would be some way of highlighting unread comments.

I've mucked around trying to figure out how to work the functionality of Comments Since Last Visit Reloaded into WPdiscuz, but I'm discovering that I'm to clumsy at PHP to make a serious run at that. The functionality is exactly what we, and I'm guessing a lot of other people too, need - when users visit a post, comments that are new since their last visit are highlighted in a specified color. Basically it's exactly what the new-loaded-comment feature of WPdiscuz already does, but for comments unread since your last visit instead of comments added since the current page was loaded.

Is there any chance this could be a feature in an upcoming release? If I'm being extremely greedy, a keystroke to skip from one unread comment to the next would be even more amazing. Thanks for all your hard work!

I should clarify that I mean CSLVR works like the new-loaded-comment feature from a UX standpoint - it works very differently from a technical standpoint, as it uses cookies and comment time stamps to determine what to highlight rather than database values.

Yes. This is a must have feature for nested comments.

Thanks, would like to second this request.   Very useful feature I had before that my commenters liked, and I'm on the fence whether to commit to wpDiscuz without it.  That and comment editing for guests.
