Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 293 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-18-2001 01:47 PM I spend a lot of time in the TRLE forum - Sometimes there's a lot of traffic and it's difficult to see when threads have been updated because they are no longer at the top of the list. I know that threads are shown in Dark Blue when you haven't read them at all But once you have they change to Lighter Blue and stay that way irrespective of whether they have been updated or not. I know it is technically possible to have a posting coloured according to whether it has been updated since you last read it or not because I have seen this 'functionality' at other sites. It does normally involve cookie storage on the polling machine, but most people would be happy to accept a cookie from a trusted source such as yourselves, and it could always be a preference on the profile screen for those who'd prefer not to avail themselves of such a feature. I believe it could also be stored on the server and likewise tied to the user login. The TR series are excellent, the editor is definitely a step in the right direction, and the community appreciate the web space and other resources you offer so generously. A feature like my suggestion above would be Royal Icing on the cake Best Regards ------------------ Conan the Barbarian [This message has been edited by Conan the Barbarian (edited 09-18-2001).] IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-18-2001 04:26 PM Strange. For me, any threads that changed since the last time I visited are in red. Do you have cookies turned on? And update your profile to remember your user id and password. IP: Logged

Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 293 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-18-2001 04:47 PM I see the behaviour as follows Link Dark blue - Unread Link Red - Last link clicked in postings listing Link Light Blue - Link accessed at least once Conan IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-18-2001 04:56 PM Maybe the UK portal does it differently. Going thru the USA portal, I just get light red if it changed since I last visited the site. If I reload the topic list, it resets it again. IP: Logged
Raider of Tombs Member Posts: 600 From: The mining ship Red Dwarf Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-18-2001 04:59 PM Red? all my links are different shades of blue! IP: Logged
Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 293 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-18-2001 05:00 PM If I read a thread and go back to the listing it's red. Open another and go back to the topic list and that's red. No distinction between previously read and those updtaed since I last read them Admins: Please consider adding such a distinction, if it's a UK/US difference please may we have the function in the UK too Many thanks ------------------ Conan the Barbarian IP: Logged
