"view new posts" - out with the old or stay the same?

as part of the new board system, there is an option to store the 'read/unread' state of posts in the database, rather than in a browser cookie (as was previously done). this means that if a user logs off, they don't lose the 'read/unread' status of posts.

while i don't really mind too much either way, what do you all prefer to happen?

let the masses decide.

would probably be nice to have some kinda button to say 'righto, i've read or ignored everything up to here, so llow it'.

Cookies work fine for me. When I log out, it means I'm over it.

Besides, I'd rather it didn't say I have unread posts if the posts are ages old (and I didn't read them in the first place because I didn't care).

Same here. Cookies ftw... unless there's a button that comes along with the server-side option which essentially lets you say "Over it"

Integer approximation FAIL. Needs more exact values: 400/9 % and 500/9 % plz.

so if nine people voted here, of which three had picked one option and six had picked the other, what would that be as an exact percentage?
