A crucial inquiry

[Bereta_Eder]

Back in the old days *inserts smily of oldtimer with pipe* it was very easy to see if a thread had a new message since the last time you opened it. It had a different color in my IE5.

Now in the modern age (remain serious please) I simply cannot know if a thread has a new message or not. I can't possibly remember who posted last so is there another way?

I get a red folder when there are new posts and a yellow folder when there are none.

[Bereta_Eder]

I don't!!!!

Half of my screen is always filled with red folders
The other half (the bottom part) is filled with yellow

WTF?

You use the 'light version' don't you, paiktis22?

Nope. Not any more.

[phoenixcager]

OK, I posted that before your second post....

I think the red folders are the threads which have new posts since your last visit

Those that you have posted in have the black dot in the center.

[Bereta_Eder]

It doesn't work that way either because when I open a (red) thread to read it and then press «off topic» the thread stays red.

[phoenixcager]

It's probably a cached page. Refreshing the page a couple of times should solve it...

[Bereta_Eder]

Yoy say it like it takes only 1 sec

Anyway, I did it but had no results.

Although I think that it is actually the blackpoint in the middle of the thread that tells you if a thread is new or not... let me check it out

[Bereta_Eder]

Nope. It isn't the blackpoint. It refers to wether you contributed to the thread as you said....

seems to work ok on my computer, red for new yellow for read ...

Maybe another glitch

[Urban Ranger]

IIRC, it's red if it contains new message since you logged on last time

[Urban Ranger]

Sorry, my mistake. The folders do change colour on the fly.

The solution is to get a different browser. I recommend Mozilla

i like the new IE 6 seems quite friendly so far

This feature works flawlessly in my experience with IE 6.

I remember having the same trouble where clicking on a link would not change the color. I think it was simply cache settings, but whatever the reason is I have not had the problem with IE 6. So think about upgrading or using as he says Mozilla.
