AnonyMouse_79 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Why are the little blue lines underneath all post titles not disappearing any more even though I have now read the content? I updated to Firefox 4 yesterday but it seems to be the same in IE today? Even my technology experts cant resolve this for me!!! Quote

Mine never have, The only thing that changes is they go from bold to washed out when I have read them - I'll attach a screen shot so you can compare Edited May 15, 2011 by Cait Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 what - they don't even go washed out? How can you tell which ones you've read then? Quote
AnonyMouse_73 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Mine change colour because I have set them up that way, this is visually clearer for me. The only time I ever noticed the lines going was on the home page in the recent topics..but I have just checked and currently they don't. Quote
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Mine don't change either but I know which posts I've read because the yellow triangle disappears. Quote
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 mine don't change either.. use the yellow triangle like JacquieL Quote
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 mine don't change either.. use the yellow triangle like JacquieL Me too! Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 the yellow triangle disapears and the blue button changes to a lighter blue on mine Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) yellow triangle? I don't think I have those! So does yours look nothing like mine then? How bizarre Edited May 15, 2011 by Cait Quote
AnonyMouse_23722 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Does it depend on what 'skin' you have chosen, or how you view posts on the site? I always choose 'view new posts' and mine looks like the picture above Quote
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 yellow triangle? I don't think I have those! I do! Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 How funny - I wasn't considering those at all!! I was picturing something larger - where the circles are that are brighter for unread posts! Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I just remember which ones I've read usually. But I've been testing this out and my yellow triangle doesnt change either. Quote
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I just remember which ones I've read usually. But I've been testing this out and my yellow triangle doesnt change either. Not even after you click on 'view new posts' having read the last post? Quote
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 my yellow triangle vanishes from the threads I have read.. and remains for the others.. changes as Maz said then I click view new posts Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 No. I've been looking at other threads and everytime I come back to the view new posts list, its the same as it was before. I've got the default skin on if that makes any difference. Quote
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 No. I've been looking at other threads and everytime I come back to the view new posts list, its the same as it was before. I've got the default skin on if that makes any difference. And you're sure someone just hasn't come along and commented on the thread after you have? I'm pretty sure I have the default skin too!

AnonyMouse_73 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Aha rea, are you going 'back' (using back button) to your view new posts page? Or clicking on view new posts again? Quote
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 yes the yellow triangle reappears if someone has commented after I have read it... so this thread seems to constantly have a yellow triangle.. I use the triangle as a button as it takes me to the first unread post no need to go through all those I have already seen. Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 OK, so I'm going to blame age and hormones, but the yellow triangle does dissapear but I've only now connected it with the fact I've read a thread. I have never noticed that before, well, maybe in passing but never connected it. Obviously a post was made just after I'd viewed it like you say Maz. Didnt someone post a thread ages ago about learning something everyday? Its taken me 6 years as a member of this forum to understand that. Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Aha rea, are you going 'back' (using back button) to your view new posts page? Or clicking on view new posts again? I went back! Sussed it now mundia. Quote
AnonyMouse_73 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I shouldn't worry Rea, I learn something new about this place on a fairly regular basis, like them 'circles' Cait referred to...I know hey are there but I've never noticed that they are different! Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I recall a discussion a few years ago when Steve intervened and reminded us all what everything meant (I'm sure there's also a panel that does this - I've seen it on here somewhere) I thin we were talking about the little circles at the side of the big circles then, and wondering what all the colours meant.

AnonyMouse_79 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 I dont use view new posts but navigate around from the home page, via new topics and recent posts. If I had read a topic at all the underlining disappeared! But not now. I also use forum index and active topics and every post in the forum index is underlined too! Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Not funny, just a preview for you all of my life on a daily babsis Quote
