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!

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.

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

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.
