Unread Posts

[Redlynne]

At present, the functionality for showing that a post is unread is the "balloon marker" (on individual posts) or highlighted star (in the forum menu list).

 

I submit that this method of presentation is ... less than optimal when dealing with listing of child forums, particularly in the Archetypes area, where it can be really hard to distinguish between bold and not-bolded text from the main forums menu.  I find myself needing to go into the Archetypes forum itself just in order to see the "stars on thars" to know which child forum has new posts in it.

 

Recommendation.

In addition to bolding the font on the forum name or post when a new post is to be found inside a forum, please include a color shift on the font as well ... say ... Vivid Yellow (all hail our savior Emperor Cole!)... to provide better contrast against the stock forum background dark blue/grey coloring in addition to the already standard bolding of text that is already happening.
