Discuss Forum Software Upgraded Again - 26th Aug in the ElectriciansForums.net News and Updates area at ElectriciansForums.net

Yeah, it's relatively clear when you're looking at new posts. It's when you're watching a couple of forums (e.g. Arms and Trainees). Are they both bold? Neither? Then you go in to one that looks bold (so, unread posts). Is it a sticky with an unread post? It'll be at the top. No? Need to scroll down below the stickies then... scroll scroll scroll (now I'm looking at the right side of the screen at the pins, not the left at the thread titles), no, missed it, up a bit (eyes to the left again). It's do-able, sure... but it's so, so subtle, the difference between bold and not-bold.

Anyway, never mind.
Oi don't think I'm not listening you bugger. I am.

Tell me what you think would work.

That difference between the bold and not bold, if that was a bigger difference, so perhaps underlined only with the bold say, would that help you guys do you think.?
 
- Different colour text
- Different colour background
- Underlined
- Bolder

One of those?

It's a fine line between having a lovely, clean, modern-looking house style that's a bit hard to use (form over function), and having summat that's easy to navigate but takes us back to 1997 style-wise or... well... the old forum software ;)

And I know you're listening :) the only reason I said never mind was I figured you'd already expended 30 secs of effort with your reply, and I figured that was about the investment in time this problem was worth! :)

Happen it's just me, anyway...

Cheers :)
