397508 2005-10-18 20:55:00 OK . . I admit I am baffled (again) so I oughtta ask .

In the front page of this site, I see there are some links that are bold and some that are not .

I at first thought the bold ones were unvisited by me, but that's not true .

I then thought that the bold ones were new posts . . . nope!

Then I figgered that the ones not in bold were old . . . nope!

Can anyone educate me?

397509 2005-10-18 20:58:00 The only threads that are displayed bold are ones that have new unread posts, Though I have seen a few glitches...

Do you have multple windows/tabs open?, do you have your browser set to auto-magicly log you onto the forum?

397512 2005-10-18 23:41:00 As far as I know, the bold links are threads with unread new posts since your last visit or unread new posts since you've been online. sal (67)
397513 2005-10-19 00:00:00 I used to wonder about this too. Couldn't fgure out anything consistent so went and wondered about something else. :D mark c (247)

397516 2005-10-19 01:19:00 For me, bold equals unread posts and it works well. Although, if you sign out without reading them, when you sign back in they are read (unbold). However, I don't know what the envelopes' colours mean. If they are blue, they aren't bold, and therefore read. What is the difference between the red and orange envelopes though?

edit: realised that some read envelopes are red and some blue.. the mystery continues.
