This is just a minor useability improvement. When a user submits a new post into the forum (successfully) it is shown to that user with the 'new' flag next to it. The expected behaviour is that the new flag should not be shown to the author of the post, to them it is not new: they wrote it.

I have rolled a patch for this however there is maybe a slight topic for discussion with this. The way this is calculated is via the {history} table which is checked against the last update time. However when a node is created the {history} table is not updated. I believe this should be done for all node types however this could also only be done for only forum nodes. I have rolled the patch to cover all node types.

Cheers,
Tim

I've thought about this one a little bit more. Since this new behaviour it might be better to add a config option that allows you to set whether or not to count the ticket creation as viewed or not. I hope this makes sense :)
