Orange and Blue print for topics
Orange and Blue print for topics
I've always assumed, no thinking process involved obviously, that the topics titles in orange are new topics because a small panel seems to indicate this, and the titles in blue are old topics. At what point does a new topic become an old topic and change colour from orange to blue? There doesn't seem to be a straightforward answer because chrissmillie's Scary headline in this month's Classics from the Comics is in orange but dates from Friday April 11 2008 yet Rab's topic Donald Trump/'Bad Boy Booth' from May 11 2016 is already blue.

Re: Orange and Blue print for topics
Topic icons only change due to the latest post being read or unread by your profile. So it is possible for a topic to be several years old and still be orange if you have not read the latest message on that thread.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

Well I would never have thought of that explanation, Col, because I assumed that every other member was seeing exactly what I was seeing, but thank you for the reply. Apparently I have rather a lot of reading to do if I'm to convert my orange icons to blue. I don't think I'll bother.colcool007 wrote:Topic icons only change due to the latest post being read or unread by your profile.

Just above the bit that says 'Who is Online', Phoenix, there is a link that says 'delete board cookies'. I think this will set things for you so that nothing shows orange for you, until new stuff starts being posted and you don't read it right away.Phoenix wrote:Well I would never have thought of that explanation, Col, because I assumed that every other member was seeing exactly what I was seeing, but thank you for the reply.
