Or give it different colors, i.e. "black" = read, "red" = unread.

Something like that yes, bold/unbold will probably not be different enough if you scroll through a topic looking for the first unread post.DarkBeing wrote:Or give it different colors, i.e. "black" = read, "red" = unread.

bold/normal isn't that bad: http://cl.ly/2q3N0C0b0U3L1Y00190nErik Frèrejean wrote:Something like that yes, bold/unbold will probably not be different enough if you scroll through a topic looking for the first unread post.DarkBeing wrote:Or give it different colors, i.e. "black" = read, "red" = unread.

It is "that" bad. If you scroll a little bit faster you won't notice if the text is bold or not. If you want to remove the icon at least use different colors.

Re: [RFC] Show number by each post
Currently there is a clear difference which is also notable when you scroll quickly through a topic, but IMO bold/normal is harder to differentiate and therefore a step back from the current behavior.callumacrae wrote:bold/normal isn't that bad: http://cl.ly/2q3N0C0b0U3L1Y00190nErik Frèrejean wrote:Something like that yes, bold/unbold will probably not be different enough if you scroll through a topic looking for the first unread post.DarkBeing wrote:Or give it different colors, i.e. "black" = read, "red" = unread.
Indicating read/unread is a more important task of that indicator that displaying some random ID that doesn't add anything important, so sacrificing a clear indication on read/unread for the sake of showing "w00t this is post #...." is a big no go.

Why not mix both? Mix both bold anc change of color? It should work better that way, no?
