Hi!
As I understood, threads are red when they are "hot" i.e., there have been recent posts. Threads are yellow when they have not been posted in for a while.
But if you look at my "subscribed threads" page, you can see that many of them are yellow even though have rather recent posts.

For example, the Elder Scrolls thread received a post only a few hours ago. And the DK comments thread received 6 responses only a matter of minutes before I checked.
Was something changed?
Edit: As far as I can see, yellow now means: "you have no unread posts in that thread."

I changed it for subscribed threads as a test, since color coding them based on time didn't really make sense for threads you explicitly subscribed to. What do you think of it?
|
I'm afraid I'm not a huge fan of the change, as the number in the brackets already tells me how many unread posts I have left to read. I used the colour to see whether the thread was still active, or whether I have unread posts from a discussion that's already over.
I think the same idea could be implemented by having an option to hide threads with no unread posts.

Phew, was wondering more and more if TL is dead as no one posts anymore.
Must get used a bit to the change before I'm sure if it's a good change.
Edit: actually, I like it. More obvious where are new posts imo. Esp if you have many subscribed threads the number can get a bit lost.
E2: lol, ok
|
Actually, the previous subscribed threads showed every single thread as red due to a bug. I've now fixed that bug and reverted the change.
|
Looks good now!
Btw, could we get a special dispensation? Closed threads are automatically yellow but perhaps this doesn't need to be the case for one thread, as in the case of the ABL, it's quite misleading. There are often many posts there, and it would be useful to see when it's "hot".
