Description
After migrating all forum posts appear as NEW in the drupal-tracker.
This is of course unwanted because these posts might be new to drupal but they are also a few years old!
Is it possible NOT to mark them as new somehow?
If yes then shouldn't this be a feature of this module?
Thnx in advance!

#1
Since the drupal uses drupal functions to create the posts and comments, it is afaik not possible to create them to already be in a "read" state.
What you may be able to do is use some database query at the end to mark them all as read - as for what query, not sure.
#2
Do you have any idea or any hint in what db-table this status is saved?
I will have a look, but this will be my first contact with a drupal database
#3
The history table.
This page may be interesting: http://chrismorgan.info/development/drupal/modules/markasread/6 but it needs to be extended to work for all users.
