Find out who read a topic December 03, 2020, 11:16:02 am Is there a way to find out which users have read a particular topic? How is the read/unread flag tracked ... maybe in some sort of list?Use case: we had an important announcement in a topic, and would like to ask for feedback from the users, but only the ones that have read the original topic.

Its just a numbers game
