Why aren't previously viewed threads highlighted

[Black Bart]

As I've seen in other forums. It makes catching up when I haven't visited in a while easier. It allows me to visit only the threads I read earlier. Some threads do seem to be a different color. But this seems to be very innacurate. Many threads I've posted in aren't a different shade of blue.

And I really don't think the posting limit has done much for speed. It's really slow right now, and I'm having trouble posting replys. I still think deleting old threads in off topic is the most effective way. archive the requested ones and delete everthing else. Well that's my 2 cents.

archive and deletions are happening all the time...

The current system is quite handy. If no one has replied since your post, the thread isn't highlighted, but the number of posts is. If no one has posted since you last viewed, it is a dark blue. I have found this system very handy (the only problem I have is that I use both my home computer on evenings and work computer on the daytime)

Well it didn't do the last posted thing then. It does in off topic. Why can't that be applied to other forums.
