Hi Bill
There are no more orange and yellow icons or 'new' images anyway so maybe us "unwashed masses" who wronged the right never got it our way after all.
Having some icons orange and some yellow splattered throught the list was confusing, when you also had to check on the other side of the screen to see if this is a thread which has something new in it. For those on larger screen resolutions it was particularly inefficient as there was a significant gap between the two items supposed to be working in tandem.
My objection to the layout in that magical week was never about a dislike for distinguishing between new threads and threads with only new messages, but a dislike for complicated interface.
However, now there is a new column:
- if a thread was new and had a 'bold' sun icon,
- if a thread was not new but had new posts to it then it had a normal sun icon,
- and obviously if there was no new material at all, it had no icon
then I could see this as very beneficial.
Darren.
