Can I make a suggestion for Forum?

[Cheeptrix]

Just wondering, Is it possible to modify the webpage so that when you click on a message and read it, it changes color? Seem like as I get older, the brain cells get fewer. I find that I can't remember if I've read a topic before, and waste time re-opening and re-reading threads. I think the old forum site used to do this, didn't it?

the envelope thing infront of the thread displays a diffrent color (dark blue vs light grey) depending on if there are new posts you have not read.

Oh, Ok. I just discovered that you have to be logged in for that option to work. Thanks for the tip.

Open envelopes? I've never seen these, mine are either dark blue closed (even though I've just read them or posted on them) or they are very light blue closed (even though I've read them or posted on them).
And I'm (always

!!) logged in!
Wonder what I'm doing wrong?

Hey mudhen, whatever you are doing I am to! Same thing!

Hmmmmmm

Forum Masters, any suggestions what we're doing wrong?

There was a discussion on this very topic here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=333&p=2 bottom of that page / top of the next

Read that, thanks. But 'open' envelopes were mentioned and I thought I had missed something...

A few thoughts / comments. I'm wondering if by "envelopes" you are meaning the light / dark blue squares to the left of forums and threads? The dark envelope means new posts since your last visit.
