Orange arrows in threads to which you've posted...

[Oaktree]

Per Kristy's explanation of the latest changes to the board here: http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=187217

Instead of the thread titles displaying in red text if you have posted to that thread, there is now a small orange arrow () displayed next to the thread title.

I don't know what's feasible and don't really have any particular suggestion, but could there be a different visual effect for this? Maybe it's just me taking crazy pills, but those orange arrows are awfully discrete...

No, not just you. It's been driving me nuts, personally. I think the problem is simply that all of the threads with new posts have little arrows next to them, as well (even if they are a different color).

Makes those little orange ones kind of hard to spot in the Excel Questions forum.

 

[Oaktree]

I agree... if there are no unread posts, the orange arrow holds up OK.

But, unread replys to threads to which you've posted are really hard to distinguish from unread posts to threads to which you've not posted.

Just a thought.

 

[Von Pookie]

I can't do anything myself, but I have asked about it. I was going to do this today, anyway. At least now it's not something bugging just me

 

[Domenic]

Yeah, I'm not too crazy about it either...

 

[starl]

any suggested graphics?

How about this guy:



In the interim, I might perform an 'ego search'. I.e., search your posts, it will show only posts you've responded to in the order of thread activity, who last responded to the thread, number of views...

A lot of really good, streamlined information, right there. Yes-no?

 

[GorD]

Heres a suggestion- what about making the font a red colour for any threads you have a post in

Only joking - but it was better ( in my opinion)

 

[GorD]

Excellent, the red text is back

 

[Barry Katcher]

Red text is back! Threads that you have replied to will again display the title in red.

Nice goin', Pooks. Much better. Ya' done good.
