No differentiation in font for read vs not-read thread titles

[Antarctica]

Saw thing happened to another forum I'm on when upgraded. Let me guess - PM transferred to Xenforo. No problem with Xenforo, but this newest "upgrade" it includes (no way to tell which threads are read, drives me crazy. And I'm sure no one will change it.

Here is a comparison of the various fora software packages. This may help clarifying what's going on.

If you change the forum style to "default" under the preferences menu, it differentiates between read and unread threads the same as it used to - bold text for unread/new and normal for read/old.

Where does one find the "preferences" menu?

URH corner of the top header.
Click on your name.
Right click "Your Account"

Got to go all the way to the bottom of the preferences page to save the changes.

Well - I changed it and it does indeed work - Thank you!!

Unfortunately - all 'branding' from PM disappears and it lust looks like a generic xenforo site.

That said, its better than the moronic way its currently implemented...

Except for the Helium thread for some reason?

How so? On regular Default mode for me, it was bolded until I read it; then not.

 

[Ox]

Well, it cleared this time.
???

I had opened it (page 1) and had "mark this forum read" each at least once, and couldn't git it to clear.
So this time I opened it again AND opened page2, and now it cleared.

Well that trick was nice while it lasted. Now its removed and I can't tell what I've read and what I haven't.

 

[Gordon Heaton]

This can be fixed. Its just whether or not anyone cares enough to do it. I'd rather have the former 'default' without the PM masthead than this junk. Nobody is saying whether these things are being worked on. I hope they are.

Yes, Milacron has posted in each of the "Site Will Be Down" sticky threads that it will be down here and there during this week as they try to address many of the issues that we have all found after the first cpl of days.

I was having this same problem even though style was set to "Use default style: Novus". I changed the setting to "Novus", saved and exited. Then reopened, changed style back to "Use default style: Novus" and saved again. Now it works, we'll see how long.

 

[Ox]

You just happened to be dinking with it while they flashed an update.
Several things changed in the last little while.

Looks like some good tweaks so far. Thread titles now differentiate read/unread like they used to, and the old metallic etc. designations are back. Location is there too on a computer, but not on mobile unless you click someone's name. I am still unable to use emoticons on mobile also.

 

[henrya]

Yes, this is better!

 

[Antarctica]

Fantastic - thank you!!

Today it was not working again. Repeated the above process, now it's working again.
