Previously the post icon served the dual purpose of giving an identifying image to the thread and showing if there were messages in the thread that were new.
I always felt this was superior to UBB which needed two columns, one for the post icon and one for a folder icon which was orangey (not read) or yellowy (read).
I don't really see where the image of the word 'new' which used to be in the reply column fits into the whole picture. If it was confusing to some then it could be removed or replaced by the sun-looking picture.
MTO and Muhammad put forward the idea. Can you guys explain the benefits of how it looks at the moment to how it looked before.
Darren.
