Anonymous Unregistered	The "Black" unread threads in the blue color scheme is pretty harsh, I agree with maybe a gray tone, but no big deal. I also had to know if the post # 24601 was about Jean Valjean, or if it was just a number off the top of your head.

MarcC Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/10/00 Posts: 3532	Quote: The LIGHT BULB on the left hand side of the screen indicates if the forum contains unread posts. Does is really matter if there's 1 new one or 100? Yes, quite significantly in a common scenario.... Sometimes I have very limited time to read posts, so I might elect to read a forum with only 6 new posts and save for later one that has 55. Once I enter a forum then exit back to the main list, all indications of new posts disappear. Thus it's very difficult to remember what I have and haven't read if I happen to pick a forum with a lot of new posts. _________________________ - Marc

Thus it's very difficult to remember what I have and haven't read if I happen to pick a forum with a lot of new posts. I agree. Having a quick "at a glance" (i.e., not requiring more clicking) view of how many new posts are in each forum is very helpful. I don't use it so much to select which forum I'm going to read, as to see, in general, how much traffic there has been (on all the forums) since I last checked. If there's been a lot, I'll stop to read, if not, I'll check out and log back in later when there's more to read. Obviously this is not a huge issue in the grand scheme of things, but that's my .02.

quanto_the_mad Carpal Tunnel Registered: 05/14/02 Posts: 2623 Loc: brooklyn	I noticed the bulb after I got a few new messages, but as others have said it's good to see how many new posts. If there's only 20 new posts since the last time I checked, then I might not check since it's probably normal activity. If there's 100 new posts, then there might be something important happening that's generating a lot of traffic or a discussion I might want barge into. walt- yeah, it was, wish I could be at the last perfomance tomorrow... _________________________

Chooch old hand Registered: 11/15/99 Posts: 1183 Loc: South East PA	Evan. Thanks for your hard work. I too weigh in that I used the new post and reply count daily to choose what to read. For example. If I have read the Anything Goes posts and am not interested in all the liberal politics being discussed, if there were no new posts listed, only replies, I would save some time and skip it till another time. If there were new posts I would open it and read away. On a side note. I went to change my profile and it says my signature is too long when I go to update. I havent changed it so I guess it's something in the new software. _________________________ Charlie
